BMW Drive Belts & V-Belts for BMW E46 M3 S54 (1999-2005)

Your BMW's drive belts are wear items, and will degrade and crack over time. Don't wait until you have a belt failure... don't get stranded! Replacing your BMW's belts, such as the alternator belt, power steering belt, air conditioning AC belt, or serpentine belt is a low cost insurance policy to preventing a break down -- or worse, engine damage. We recommend checking your belts every 10,000 miles. If your belts have excessive cracks, dry rot, missing teeth and/or grooves, are cause noise, it's time for new ones.

While also inspecting your serpentine belts, also check for wear or resistance in the pulleys. The tensioner pulley and deflection pulley are the primary sources for belt squealing. The rubber-isolated pulleys can also break apart, leading to total belt failure. We sell the tensioner and deflection pulleys for the M50 engine family used in the E34, E36, E39, E46, X5, Z3, and Z4.

These pulleys are precision made from domestic USA 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum. They have undergone thousands of hours in testing, race use, and street miles accumulated to show these pulleys work great and give you the edge. Each is precision zero-balanced and inspected for zero-runout for the best performance and to have no adverse effects on reliability, noise, or vibration. This 3 Pulley Race Set is a very popular choice: just like the 2 pulley set, a precision power steering pulley and water pump pulley are included, but VAC includes an additional underdriven alternator pulley for maximum power output on the track. We have seen 11hp and 9 ftlbs to the wheels on otherwise stock racing cars with this kit.
