BMW Drive Belts & V-Belts

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.

It is a well-known issue on the BMW N54/55 platforms that your serpentine belt can fail for various reasons. When this happens, there is a high chance of the belt getting sucked behind the front damper pulley and then being pushed past the crank seal into your oil pan. From there it can get sucked into the oil pick up causing total engine failure. Even if you do not lose the engine, it is a COSTLY repair to remove the sub-frame and drop the oil pan to remove the belt. The best way to combat this is to watch for oil leaks and keep up on your maintenance. BUT, even with those preventative measures, pre-mature belt failure can occur. This crank seal guard installs over your front crank seal and will keep the belt from being sucked in if a belt failure does occur. This is a cheap way to ensure you do not end up having to replace your motor from oil starvation due to an ingested belt. Vargas' seal is different from those already on market in two major ways. Firstly, it is not offensively priced. Secondly, it is 100% billet with no welds on the tabs to break, no cheap bent thin steel pieces. 100% Billet 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized black for long-term corrosion resistance. Crank Seal Guard includes: One VTT Billet N54/55 Crank Seal Guard Two extended 12.9 Grade bolts, and two stainless washers We highly recommend you install WITH a crank bolt capture at the same time, as you have to remove the damper anyway. Then you will get the benefit of helping eliminate the dreaded spun crank hub and the crank seal issue

Under certain conditions, the N55 crank hub likes to spin, without warning and even when the engine is in perfect health. The engineers at Vargas saw and dealt with this problem time and again, and they saw fit to do something about it. This hub uses a proprietary "Spline Lock" technology that uses high tolerance machined splines which press into the crank, and positively lock the hub to the crank. The splines are machined in such a way that rotational forces drive the hub, and splines deeper into the crank meaning when the hub encounters a situation that would normally slip a stock hub the splined hub is driven into the crank to keep it in place (much like a splined extractor). Features: Installs the same as a stock hub Does NOT require the crank to be drilled for pins Manufactured from Harndered 17-4SS We suggest the Crank Hub System ONLY be installed by a qualified shop or technician. Timing tools are 100% REQUIRED if installed improperly engine damage may occur. DISCLAIMER: VTT and ECS are not responsible for any engine damage caused by improper installation, or misuse of the crank hub solution.

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.

M7 Speed 4% Oversize Crankshaft Pulley for MINI Cooper

Unlocking Performance

The M7 Speed 4% oversize crankshaft pulley is your ticket to unlocking the hidden potential of your MINI Cooper. This performance-enhancing pulley is designed to add power, acceleration, and overall performance to your beloved MINI. Here's how it does the trick:

Performance Boost:

Safely speeds up your supercharger, delivering a significant "low end" boost and torque.
The result? Your MINI Cooper takes off with newfound energy and responsiveness.

Lightweight Advantage:

Weighing just 13 ounces, this pulley is a remarkable 88.5% lighter than the factory version.
Reduced crankshaft rotational mass equals more horsepower, torque, and improved throttle response.

Advanced Design

The M7 Speed 4% Crank Pulley isn't just about performance; it's also a work of art. Crafted with advanced computer modeling and precision CNC machining, it's a blend of form and function:

Materials:

Made in the USA from billet 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy.
Features a deep black anodized coating and laser etching for a sleek look.

Precision Machining:

Micro V-Belt grooves meet SAE J1459 specifications to minimize belt slippage, especially at maximum boost.

Optimal Fit:

Use it in conjunction with the M7 Speed 16% Supercharger Technology Pulley for peak performance in MINI tuning.

Reliable Performance

From the factory, MINI lacks a positive drive key on the crankshaft snout to drive the lower pulley. Most aftermarket pulleys are slip-fit and rely on the bolt to prevent slippage. The M7 Speed crank pulley is engineered differently:

Interference Fit:

The pulley is interference-fit onto the crankshaft, ensuring zero slippage even at high RPMs.

Features at a Glance:

Super Lightweight: Only 13 ounces (0.3 kg)
Sheds 6.2 lbs (2.8 kg) compared to stock
Achieves perfect balance through a symmetric design and precision machining
Includes a high-quality ARP Racing bolt and precision ground flat washer
