Choose this kit if your car shows belt noise, visible belt wear, play in the tensioner or rough idler pulley bearings. Always confirm compatibility using your vehicle’s VIN and part numbers before purchase, and consult a qualified technician for installation if you're not comfortable performing belt-system service yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this kit fit xDrive BMW models?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — many xDrive variants are covered (e.g., 328i xDrive, 528i xDrive), but verify against your VIN and the listed exclusions for Adaptive Drive or 4‑zone climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the tensioner bolt stronger than the OEM aluminum style?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — Kozlira supplies an upgraded steel tensioner bolt for improved strength and resistance to stripping or loosening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Kozlira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48080900817054,"sku":"B0D2QP98RY","price":79.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/kozlira-front-packaging-kit-view.jpg?v=1785791912","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/kozlira-serpentine-belt-tensioner-kit-for-bmw-3-0l-l6-2006-2013-idler-pulley-v-ribbed-belt-steel-bolt","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
