Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013

In this detailed video, see how to remove the engine pulley from a BMW 3 Series. Gather a socket wrench with the appropriate sockets or a cordless impact wrench with bits. Mark the exact position of the installed pulley with a marker (for reinstallation). Use the socket wrench to loosen the pulley retaining bolts (if the pulley rotates, lock the central bolt with another socket wrench), remove the tensioner (as shown in the video) using a Torx bit, and pull off the belt. Finally, remove the pulley retaining bolts and detach the pulley from the central bolt.
