Ricky, yeah the belt is cheap, no prob. I'm just concerned there maybe something I am missing that made it start wearing quicker. The other belt (alternator/water pump) looks to be in much better shape, no cracks at all, and they were both put in at the same time. I believe the tensioners for both belts are the originals, have not replaced either yet.

Upallnight, yes it's not an original BMW marked belt, just made by the OEM.
