BMW 335i N55 Serpentine Belt Replacement

Torx Socket Set: amzn.to/3jhuxGo (I mistakenly said e-torx in the video).
Drive Belt for N55: amzn.to/34biHZX
Quick video on how to remove the serpentine belt (drive belt) on a BMW N55 engine that is often found on BMW 135, BMW 335, BMW 535 as well as X3, X5 etc. cars. The steps are fairly easy on these engines as you just have to remove the intake duct by taking out 4 screws and puling it apart from the air filter housing. Then you will unplug the connector from the fan and take out one more bolt and pull the fan cowl towards the top and remove it from the car. Then you will use a T60 Torx socket on the belt tensioner and lock it in place and remove the belt.

What are the symptoms of bad drive belt?

[@ModelcarNick]

Something you can see physical damage on the belt. Its very hard to spot though. Seems like most the people doing theses services, including myself, are doing it because the car is making a squeaking noise

[@carspottervandy]

Is this the same way a N55 135i belt would go?

[@105fernando105]

[@Bula_bk]

Is it the same for a manual trans

[@nahuelchinchilla]

After how many years you recommend change the belt ? Thanks!

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I would say about 75,000 miles or more, unless you are already doing some other work in there.
