Eliminate your squeaking accessory belt pulleys and cracked drive belts with this upgraded accessory belt service kit! This kit includes the ECS Kevlar Reinforced Drive Belt, an OEM A/C belt, belt tensioners, an idler pulley, and the hardware required for installation ECS Tuning's Red Kevlar Accessory Belts are both an aesthetic improvement and a performance alternative to a traditional belt. Kevlar-reinforced belts experience less elongation over time minimizing the amount of belt adjustment needed as well as offering a higher shock and impact resistance compared to OEM-style belts. Refreshing the belts, rollers, and tensioners simultaneously is a great way to ensure all vital components of your drive belt system are functioning optimally for years to come!

Most of the pulleys on your BMW engine are plastic, which become brittle and frail over time and from engine bay heat. A failed pulley could leave you stranded which is why it is vital to inspect the pulleys during routine maintenance. This is an aluminum version of the stock water pump pulley used on the M50/M52/M52TU/M54 engine in the E36, E46, Z3, Z4, and other models. It uses the same hardware and the original belt as the stock plastic pulley. But the aluminum will last much longer.

Also known as a shock damper, the accessory belt tensioner is used to tension the air conditioning compressor belt. This ensures proper contact with the belt drive pulleys and prevents premature wear from improper tension.

If your belt is wearing prematurely or has excess slack, your belt tensioner may be to blame. Replace it with this high-quality Bremmen Parts tensioner to ensure proper tension and air conditioning functionality.

This pulley is mounted along with the hydraulic belt tensioner but can be replaced on its own. It is used for the main drive belt on the M50-M54 family engines (M50, M50TU, M52, S52, M52TU, M54, M56, and S54 engines). This is the same belt that covers the water pump/alternator/power steering systems. Replacement is a very easy procedure (requires fan removal) and will have your engine purring in no time. Belt replacement is strongly recommended at the same time. If you have a mechanical belt tensioner, the pulley can only be replaced with a new tensioner.

This high-quality replacement from Bremmen Parts is designed for exact fitment on your BMW. Whether you're looking to complete much-needed preventative maintenance, or replacing a failed roller, choose this component from Bremmen Parts for a lasting repair.
