This is an OEM INA tensioner pulley, also known as the adjusting pulley and lower pulley. This pulley is mounted on the belt tensioner near the center of the belt assembly. The upper and lower pulleys are known to be the primary sources for 'belt squealing'. This 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).

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.

Group A racecars were the top of their class in both touring car and rally racing. Heavily modified and extremely fast these cars set out to demonstrate the best of what a manufacturer could do on the racetrack. It was the predecessor to the current DTM class racing and set a standard for many other divisions of motorsport to follow.  

One of the weaker points of the S14 engine, when speaking from a racing standpoint is the belt drive system. While fine for a street going car, a V-belt is not suitable for high RPM applications. On the track, most of your time will be spent in the higher rev range which puts extreme amounts of stress on the factory setup. BMW realised this and came up with a solution that involved doing away with the V belt system and using a 6 rib serpentine style instead.

Extremely resistant to slippage and failure this design holds up much better the abuse of track duty and won't leave you stranded and waiting for tow back to the pit. Additionally, this kit does not accommodate and a/c compressor and the alternator and waterpump are underdriven by way of slightly larger pulleys. Combined, this puts less of a load on the crankshaft which leads to more efficient power delivery to the ground. If you track you E30 M3, this is an essential upgrade and until now was extremely difficult to source. Do not skip this pivotal step in your engine build or overhaul and get a leg up on the competition the Group A way.
Please note this kit is special order and in non-returnable
