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.

If you're grappling with issues like crankshaft failures and oil pump breakdowns in your BMW 6-cylinder engines, you're not alone. Even seasoned mechanics can overlook the critical aspect of harmonic resonance control in these inline-6 motors, despite their optimal configuration.

Enter ATI Performance Products in collaboration with VAC Motorsports, presenting a solution in the form of new dampers tailored for BMW 2.5L, 2.8L, 3.0L, and 3.2L straight-6 engines found in various models like the E36 and E46 M3, E9X, and E6X, as well as newer Z3s and Z4s. These dampers effectively nullify crankshaft harmonic vibrations, paving the way for enhanced horsepower and torque output, alongside a reduction in internal engine wear. Say goodbye to issues like fractured oil pumps and timing chain mishaps! By pairing these dampers with a VAC accessory pulley, you seamlessly replace the OEM balancer. Featuring a 7” outer diameter and OEM-style timing alignment tabs, these ATI Super Dampers boast SFI 18.1 Safety Certification, ensuring they're competition-ready.

What sets the ATI SuperDamper apart? It's the remedy for vibration woes in inline 6 engines, especially those equipped with lightweight clutch and flywheel setups. Expect diminished wear on bearings, engine accessories, and oil pumps, all while being compatible with underdrive pulleys.

Included in the kit are the damper itself, a lightweight VAC Billet Crankshaft Pulley, along with all necessary mounting and installation hardware. Note that it's not compatible with S50B30 & S50B32 Euro Engines. For street/track vehicles with air conditioning, opting for the Additional A/C Pulley Option is imperative, given that the OE A/C pulley isn't compatible. Rest assured, all required mounting and installation hardware is included, and the entire package is proudly Made in the USA.

NOTE: Due to space limitations, the design of this damper will overdrive your components (water pump, power steering, and alternator) by approximately 10-13%; we highly recommend using underdrive pulleys in your setup Controlling the harmonic resonance of the BMW S14 engine is highly important as RPMs rise, but the ideal configuration of the 4-cylinder motor makes even the most experienced engine builders overlook some fundamental principles of engine harmonics that can be destructive. Harmonics destroy these motors by causing extensive oil pump and crankshaft damage, but the addition of VAC’s Harmonic Damper eliminates the unstable crankshaft harmonic vibrations that cause internal engine wear. By eliminating harmonic vibrations, your S14 engine will be able to produce more horsepower and torque with increased reliability. The VAC/ATI Harmonic Damper is made with an integral pulley, eliminating the need for the additional pulley other models require. Exceeds SFI 18.1 Safety Certification Eliminates problems with lightweight clutch and flywheel assemblies Controls destructive harmonic forces Reduces instances of bearing wear, accessory failure and oil pump failure Includes lightweight VAC Billet Crankshaft Pulley Made in USA ATI Performance Products, Inc. is located in Baltimore, MD, and specializes in producing and maintaining high performance products for street and track applications. Over the years ATI has earned a reputation for its cutting edge technology, attention to detail and rigorous testing under race conditions.

Each is precision zero-balanced and inspected for zero-runout for the best performance and to have no adverse effects on reliability, noise, or vibration. This 3 Pulley Race Set is a very popular choice: just like the 2 pulley set, a precision power steering pulley and water pump pulley are included, but VAC includes an additional underdriven alternator pulley for maximum power output on the track. We have seen 11hp and 9 ftlbs to the wheels on otherwise stock racing cars with this kit.
