GamecocksE53 is on a distinguished road
As for the tensioners and pulleys - I was lucky enough to get 85% of the servce records from the guy that owned the car before me (one owner) I say 85% bc he told me when he bought it that he did some things at 120K that cost him a couple grand. He could not remember what they were and cannot find the receipt. He got everything done at BMW of Raleigh until 100K and took it to an Indy after 100K. I called that indy and of course they got a new POS system and deleted all customers that were not there in 2 years, so we have no idea what that 120K mile service was for.

With all that being said, I do see he got both belts replaced at 34k and 97k. Nothing about the pulleys

I think the main things that are needing to be done within the next couple months are:
1. CCV - Est - $300-$400 with parts and labor
2. Belts/Pulleys - Est - $400-$500 " "
3. PS system - Est - $400-$500 " "

Keep in mind, those are just estimates. If my estimates are +/- 20%. That is easily do-able/expected for a car this age. Also, If all of these estimates are in fact within those ranges, I will just get them done all together with the hope of saving an hour or 2 of labor. My wallet can handle that...
