Checkout https://www.oembimmerparts.com if you need to replace your belt or pulleys on the E90 BMW. There are different pulleys depending on the year of your vehicle so check out their site. Also check out https://www.realoem.com to confirm the exact part numbers you need. You can put the last 7 of your VIN number in and it will show you the parts for your vehicle.
Belts and pulleys tend to wear out over time. The ribs on the belts wear down, the rubber cracks, and in some cases chunks of the belt may be missing. The pulleys are ballbearings and the grease inside will dry out, the bearing races will get pitted and corroded and the pulleys will start to make noise. It’s best just to replace them all at once and it’s best to use OEM components when doing it. In this video, I’ll show you how to do that. It’s actually pretty easy!

Excellent videography. Congrats. Have done the job twice in my e90 with 300,000 miles 2008 328i.
Great video , can you make a video how to code modules with tool 32 or expert mode
E90 starting to look like "date rape" lots of stuff to R&R. Is this car a GDI ? Sounded like it. I have been Beeming (tech) since the mid 1980s. I decided that the E36 is "The ultimate driving machine" and have 2 now. Moved a "M package into the red car" <<<<——–< my car in the picture. 1996 E36ICA. Also have a 1997 328ICA. The 1997 is mintish (wheel brg RF) I have new bearings but its hot outside.
I did just rebuild a ZF5Hp fl by your vids so I appreciate that.
My goodness my M54 is so much easier to work on.
great job!!!
Super video again! I had belt issues as well (E46), replaced everything and then found out that the fan clutch was bad as well, causing too much load on the belt system. Do all manufacturers have such noisy and sensitive belt systems or is it just BMW ? 🙂
hey i am currently in the middle of my ccv replacement and i noticed when i got the intake off that i was completely missing the electric value and the non return value (black and white cords) i also noticed the vacuum line that came out of the electric value which i think connects to the air pump was just never there either and I'm not sure if i need to replace all of those or not i would appreciate any feedback
At 8:23 you can see that the upper left pulley you replaced is a ribbed pulley and not smooth. The part you used to replace it must be wrong
So much fucking plastic in that engine
Hey On the M62 X5 timing procedure. If the Vanos wasn't properly purged do you think that can cause a P0011 code AKA advanced timing bank 1. I replaced a intake cam on the passenger side idk so that could be an issue. I noticed the driver side vanos purged more than the passenger side. I first thought I went to hard with the driver side when purging it but evidently bank 1 is the code affected. All new guides, tensioners, and chains except the lower. I didn't do the lower. Any ideas what to look for or first things to check? BTW I got a vanos socket coming and gonna swap the solenoids to see if it shows up on bank 2 instead of bank 1. Advance timing from what I was told means the solenoid is either not getting oil/not working, timing chain is off, or vanos is clogged. I figured you of all people would be the guy to ask
Are you sure the routing is correct? I did it that way once on my m54 (i am a dumb as). It destroys the belt. Left lots of rubber goo on the roller.
I think you uploaded the wrong file the video is still 360p
