Please ensure your correct model is selected

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.

This is an OEM Febi Upper Idler Pulley, also known as the roller pulley or deflection pulley. The upper and lower idler pulleys are known to be the primary sources for 'belt squealing'. The pulley is also encased in rubber which will crack over time. If left without service the rubber could fail completely, chucking the belt and leaving you stranded. Replacement is a very simple procedure and can be done anytime the fan is off the engine (belt replacement, water pump service, alternator replacement, etc).

The idea of power pulleys is simple. The less effort the engine puts into running accessories such as the water pump, power steering, pump alternator etc., the more of that power can be used elsewhere - your wheels! The way this is done by reducing the rotation of the pulleys by as much as 10-20%! The end result is more horsepower at your disposal. Turner has done extensive testing (on and off the track), to ensure that the accessory systems still function as intended and without failure. These pulleys offer an excellent compromise of power gains, reliability and performance. All Turner pulleys are constructed of high quality T-6061 aluminum for durability and longevity. They are also finished in a black hard anodizing, which is highly resistant to wear including chemical and heat exposure. They have been designed to carry stock-like aesthetics, but with increased strength properties and lighter weight. Because of the durable aluminum construction, you can also put the worries of a serious plastic failure to rest. These pulleys will last, all the while increasing horsepower too! While you're installing your Power Pulley Kit, it makes sense to overhaul your Accessory Belt System as well, so this kit includes our Accessory Belt Kit as well.

Eliminate your squeaking accessory belt pulley and cracked drive belt with this upgraded accessory belt service kit! This kit includes the ECS Kevlar Reinforced Drive Belts, tensioner assemblies, and new tensioner pulleys. 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 rollers and/or tensioners simultaneously is a great way to ensure all vital components of your drive belt system are functioning optimally for years to come!

Keeping all of your belts tight is imperative to making everything in your vehicle functioning. If your A/C belt tensioner pulley is not keeping enough tension on your belt, your entire A/C system won't work as effectively. A usual sign that your tensioner needs replacing is if your belt keeps slipping causing the system to "squeal".
