BMW Drive Belts & V-Belts for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

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.

This is an OEM INA Upper Idler Pulley, also known as the roller pulley or deflection pulley. The upper and lower idler pulleys are known to be the primary sources for 'belt squealing'. The 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).

Over time, accessory belts begin to wear out and crack. This can lead to the belt slipping, squeaking, or even snapping. Replace your belts and tensioners on a regular basis to ensure you don't end up stranded on the side of the road with a dead battery or over heated engine due to a bit of simple overlooked maintenance. This kit includes all of the items that will need replaced such as the belts, tensioners, and hardware.

Keeping all of your belts tight is imperative to making everything in your vehicle functioning. If your A/C belt tensioner pulley is not keeping enough tension on your belt, your entire A/C system won't work as effectively. A usual sign that your tensioner needs replacing is if your belt keeps slipping causing the system to "squeal".

Eliminate your squeaking accessory belt pulley and cracked drive belt with this upgraded accessory belt service kit! This kit includes everything you need to service the belt drive system and keep everything in check, including the updated Hydraulic tensioner to keep your E46 driving like a dream. This kit also includes ECS Tuning's Kevlar reinforced belt for longer life and resistance. 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!

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.
