E90 320D V-belt/Serpentine belt issue

[LYFGP]

Hi guys,

So On my way home earlier this afternoon, the battery light came on and the steering suddenly got hard. After a few minutes the coolant temperature light (Yellow) came on too and the car's fan went on. The car also suddenly felt like it was not boosting for a while. As i got home, i switched the car off and the fan stayed on for about 10 minutes. Opened up the bonnet and noticed the v-belt (Not too sure what belt it is) was broken.
(I drove home slowly as I was about 3km's from home)

1. Would it be advisable to change only the belt, or would it be advisable to
change the vibration damper pulley too?

2. I need suggestions on the best place to take my vehicle to for this job.
Randburg/Northcliff and surrounding areas.

I will have the car towed to an authorized workshop to have the work done and depending on what is damaged, it will be fixed under warranty, hopefully.

Vehicle: E90 LCI 320D MSport Auto

If the belt went, your water pump and power steering pump were not running, how hot Did it get?

If you haven’t done the pulley yet, it’s best to do it now.

That those KMs, best to do the pulley at the same time. Take come pics of the pulley, on mine the cracks in rubber were visible.

Do the vib damper with the belt...check a few bmw dealerships in comparison with goldwagen etc and you maybe surprised with the price difference....replacing with agents gives you the peace of mind that you should get another 150k + kms...just my 2cents
