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.
Introducing our Turner Motorsport Crank Seal Guard – the essential shield for your BMW's engine integrity. Safeguarding the heart of your vehicle, this meticulously designed guard offers robust protection for the crank seal concealed behind the harmonic balancer.
Considered an indispensable maintenance component for your BMW, the Crank Seal Guard acts as a crucial defense against a potential and preventable catastrophe involving your accessory belt. Facing the reality of potential oil or coolant leaks in your engine, this guard becomes a reliable barrier, preventing these fluids from reaching the accessory belt. The consequence of a compromised belt includes walking, slipping, fraying, and rubber particles finding their way behind the harmonic balancer and into the crank seal – a scenario that can lead to severe engine failure.
Let's be honest, engine leaks are a common occurrence, and whether your engine is currently leaking or not, the Crank Seal Guard is a proactive measure against future threats. The wear and tear on the accessory belt due to oil and coolant exposure can result in slipping, tearing, or, worst-case scenario, belt snapping – posing a significant risk to your engine's well-being.
Prepare your car for the long haul and protect the vital components, It's not a matter of "if" but "when" your belt will become a problem, and our Crank Seal Guard is your proactive solution. Rigorously tested on N52/N54/N55 and S55 for 100% confirmed fitment, it stands as a reliable guardian for your engine's health. Invest in the protection your BMW deserves with the Turner Motorsport Crank Seal Guard.
Key benefits:
Protect crank seal from rogue accessory belts and their shredded debris Optimized to fit N52, N54, N55, and S55 engines Rigid design that fits within the space constraints between the engine block and harmonic balancer Zinc-coated fasteners for corrosion and oxidation resistance Design:

It is a good idea to note how your belt is routed before starting the installation.
2 securing bolts for crank seal guard - Torque value of 20Nm
You will find either 6 or 8 E10 bolts are holding the harmonic balancer depending on the engine.
E10 (P#11237564511) N52: 6 bolts - Torque value of 25nm N54: 6 bolts - Torque value of 35nm N55: 8 bolts - Torque value of 35nm
E10 (P#11237575488) S55: 8 Bolts - Torque value of 35nm
Vargas has introduced their new Billet Power Steering pulleys for the N54 engine! A well-known issue with the N54 with Hydraulic power steering is the plastic pulley either hitting the subframe, or breaking on its own. This can result in the belt to be ejected from the pulley, and leave you stranded with no serpentine belt. This also increases the chance of sucking the belt into the engine through the front seal. Put an end to the dreaded plastic PS pulley issues with the VTT 100% Billet Aluminum PS pulley. These are constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodize in one of 4 colors (Black, Red, Blue, and Clear) for a great look, and long-lasting finish. These weigh 11oz, very close to the weight of a stock pulley, and are lighter than the cast aluminum versions on the market.

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.

Accessory drive belts keep everything turning off of the crank pulley. Generators and water pumps both rely on this belt to keep everything working properly. If your drive belt is getting old, cracking, glazing, or squeaking, replace it.

Is your BMW making a chirping or grinding noise at idle? The culprit is frequently a failing alternator decoupler pulley. Unlike a traditional solid pulley, this Overrunning Alternator Pulley (OAP) allows the alternator rotor to "freewheel" when engine speeds drop suddenly. This specialized function protects your BMW drive belt and belt tensioner from excessive snap-back, vibration, and "belt slap."
Prevent Catastrophic Engine Failure
Over time, the internal clutch mechanism can seize or slip, leading to accelerated wear or total serpentine belt failure. On BMW engines, a snapped belt can be ingested through the front main seal, causing catastrophic engine damage. Replacing this pulley is a cost-effective preventative maintenance step that restores smoothness to your accessory drive without the high cost of a complete alternator replacement.
Features & Benefits:
Lowers the load on the drive belt, tensioner, and AC compressor. Stops "belt slap" and rhythmic chirping noises during deceleration and idle. Direct Replacement with high-quality construction ensures perfect fitment and long-term durability. Essential Maintenance for N52 engines
Used to tighten the A/C drive belt. The A/C drive belt is tightened by a separate belt tensioner. If you notice yours is worn at your next belt service, replace it with a new part.
