I have some expereince with the Goodyear belts. REAL quiet, longer life on hi annual mileage cars. No slip. This design has been around for some 15 years++ First good engineering improvement in serpentine belt design. Use them and report back on your experience.
The feedback on GOOD things that happen when owning a BMW X5 E53 is a little limited on this board as the 3rd owners are taking over now that these SAV Beasts are getting older.
Long Live the Beasts!
Oh, and I put parts on mine over the weekend and I hand washed it as temps got into +35 degrees.....so? Cost of ownership. Cheaper than a car payment even if I have to do it 2x -3x a month.
I really love this one. Nothing better than a hard stomp on the loud pedal to clear your mind. 45 to 80 stomp is the best as there is a good downshift followed by a few hard upshifts. Look mom, no carbon build up!
