A/C Drive Belt, PK4X840, Continental - E65 745i, E53 X5 4.4i/4.8is N62

The A/C drive belt runs air conditioner compressor and is driven from the crankshaft pulley on the N62 V8 engine. It's very important not to neglect your drive belts as a failure will leave you stranded. They're easy to inspect during normal maintenance such as an oil change or refilling your washer tank. If there are cracks running across the ribs, sections missing, the edges are frayed, or the threads are visible on the belt surface, the belt should be replaced immediately.

If you can, inspect and test the A/C roller pulley and tensioner before ordering your belt. Or plan to order these parts at the same time. These are made of plastic and shatter with age, causing potentially expansive/expensive damage to your engine, radiator, etc. They usually last longer than the belt but now is the best time to replace them. Since they are bolted on, not pressed, they are easy to replace.

This is an OEM serpentine belt manufactured by Continental - the original supplier to BMW for engine belts.
