BMW Drive Belts & V-Belts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Clear BMW chassis

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.

A new power steering pulley is key to keeping your steering system smooth and reliable. Over time, pulleys can warp, crack, or wear, causing belt slippage, whining noises, or even pump failure. Installing a fresh pulley restores correct belt alignment, eliminates noise, and maintains consistent hydraulic pressure for precise, effortless steering. Why choose a new pulley? Smooth operation – Ensures proper belt tension for dependable pump performance. Noise reduction – Eliminates squealing, whining, or vibration from worn pulleys. System protection – Protects the pump and steering components from damage. Install a new pulley and keep your steering system running quietly, efficiently, and confidently.

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!

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.

If you need the hydraulic belt tensioner, click here.

This item is 70mm Diameter. Please check the diameter before ordering.

This tensioner pulley fits the following BMWs: 1991-1995 E34 525i (M50 engine) 1992-1999 E36 325i, 325is, 328i, 328is, 323is 1995-1999 E36 M3 (M3 3.0 & M3 3.2 liter) 1997-2003 E39 525i, 528i, 530i - Only for Hydraulic Tensioner 1999-2000 E46 323i, 323Ci, 328i, 328Ci - Only for Hydraulic Tensioner 2001-2005 E46 325i, 325Ci, 325xi, 330i, 330Ci, 330xi - Only for Hydraulic Tensioner 2001-2006 E46 M3 coupe & convertible - Only for Hydraulic Tensioner 2000-2006 X5 3.0 liter (E53 chassis) 2004 E60 525i, 530i (M54 engine) 1997-2002 Z3 & MZ3 2.5, 2.8, 3.0, M Roadster, M Coupe 2003-2009 Z4 M Coupe and Roadster
