Cold Engine and Drivetrain Procedures
Note: In most cases the alternator belt does not need to be checked any more. Early models should have the pulley and belt upgrade that came out a few years ago. Current recommendations are that the belt is installed and adjusted, then not disturbed until 36K when replacement is specified.
1. Remove the four bolts holding the black plastic alternator belt cover at the front of the engine, 4mm T-handle hex.
2. Remove the cover by sliding it straight down.
3. Check the belt for cracks or shredding.
4. Check the belt tension, quite tight, ~1/4” deflection when you press on the center.
Note: Paul Glaves suggests that proper belt tension is when you can twist the belt ~90 degrees, midway between the pulleys. If you can twist it more than 90 degrees, it is too loose. If you cannot twist it 90 degrees, then it is too tight.
5. Leave the cover off for the valve adjustment procedure on the next page.

In the fall of 1999 I had the pleasure of purchasing a 97 BMW M3. I had always been in awe of the car after hearing many publications rave about its handling prowess and silky smooth drivetrain. I never imagined that I would own a car of this caliber, but that all changed when I made one fatal mistake. I allowed a dealer to hand me the keys for a test drive. Actually, I didn’t want to drive the car, but a friend I had along with me,
without my prior knowledge, asked that I be allowed to drive the car. End of story. I now drive an Alpine White M3 and can’t wait to make that last payment.

BMW would like you to be a part of its prestigious family. The appropriately badged 1 series is an all new model aimed largely at buyers who until now, thought the brand outside their reach. Opinion seems divided on the newcomer’s style. Sharing design cues with the sporty Z4 roadster, the long bonnet, low roofline and heavily sculpted body details
are definite attention grabbers. Its rear wheel drive chassis stays loyal to BMW’s design philosophy and also makes it the odd one out amongst sporting hatchbacks.
