What? You aren't daily driving the E38? J/K

I picked up an E70 as well (09 3.0) and it threw the AC belt. Since I am driving the E38 in the warmer months I can take some time to get the compressor checked and likely replaced, before the garage queen goes back to napping in the winter.

Do you have the stretch belt for the AC belt? I bought a tool to remove and replace mine when I get around to addressing the issue.
