2011 135i I was driving on freeway behind big semi, a piece of it’s tire flew into front bumper and I ran it over. I bought it used and it didn’t have bottom plastic cover on it. It immediately lost power steering and pulled over and pulled belt out and a few pieces that were shredded and got towed home. Ordered
new belt and pulleys, as I was putting belt on I noticed the power steering pump was loose. After getting under the car I saw two of the three bolts were missing. When I went to replace the third in back that goes into oil pan, I realized it was sheered off flat in oil pan. BMW has quoted $875 to remove bolt, I’m trying to decide now if I’ll pay or do it myself. Does anyone know what these BMW Power Steering Pump ASA Bolt (M10X35) - Genuine BMW 22116769558 are made of? Steel, Stainless Steel or aluminum like oil pan bolts. This may determine if I try to drill and remove myself.
