How to Replace the Serpentine Belt

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: V-belt

The first step in replacing a serpentine belt is to ensure you select the appropriate type of belt. Make sure it is installed correctly and that the bolts and screws are tightened according to the recommended torque specifications. First, after turning off the engine, remove the belt without forcing it. Ensure the belts are clean and completely dry before use. Then, install the new belt and adjust the tensioner until the correct tension is achieved. Finally, install the cover.
