Great OEM replacement!

I needed this for my E70 after I had a hole in the OEM bag and was driving with no air in it. I was going to buy the Arnett for double the price since that's what most people get, but decided to give it a try. It's identical to the OEM, it snaps into place and inflates with ease. Looks well made and still works great. I say try. Took me 15 minutes to replace this after removing the wheel, very easy. For those who don't know, here are the steps: - Properly position and support the car and remove the wheel - Step back a little and cut open the old bag to let the air out - Use a large screwdriver to loosen the bottom clamp - Hold the bag and twist 1/4 to remove. Be careful when pulling, do not damage the air duct. - Unscrew the nut and pull out the air duct ) and fully insert the air duct - this is a one time thing so insert and try to pull it out, it should NOT come out. Ready! - Pinch and insert the bag, secure the top and twist 1/4 to hook. - Pull the bag down and fasten it at the bottom. (may require some force and a few taps with a rubber mallet. Help. - Put the wheel back on and lower the car until the wheel touches the ground, the compressor should start inflating the bag - once inflated is, lower the car all the way down and spin the wheel to 104 lbs. Done!
