Both belt tensioners are also the originals, but I did have to replace the pulley wheels themselves at around 55,xxx miles.
When I saw the price of the complete tensioner assembly that BMW wants you to purchase, I decided that I'd try and find the wheels themselves. That saved some significant money.

Thanks for the info,
Does the wheel come with the bearing as a sub-assembly that can be fitted to the original tensioner? Did the wheel have wear?
Hopefully I can get some more owner feedback before buying the bits and doing the work.
