Thanks. I think I would have replaced that belt too, and maybe the tensioner 😊

I agree, if it was mine then I would have 👍

@@markcoe69 Only problem is the service manual says to use new bolts. 40 Nm and then 120­°. Hard to do without some way to lock the damper or crankshaft. BMW has a special tool for that 😵‍💫
