Not really tough if you work on your M3 yourself. I used to work on my M so swapping the pulley was a cinch for me. Well, maybe cuz I have a mechanic friend who has the right tools too. :D

yeap, but not really...just lift the engine up enough so you can change out the pulley. it's really not pulling the engine out. i was scared too but when i was actually performing the work, it's really not that bad. when you lower the motor back down, it basically goes right into the motor mounts slots. you don't need a engine crane, just a good jack with a wooden block between the motor and the jack.

so disconnect it from the mounts, or leave everyhting together and just throw a jack under it?

yeap basically that's about it. check that forum above for specific details. I remember before removing the motor mounts, you have to remove the airbox.
