Does anybody have any comments or similar issue? Even a "Its still safe to drive..." would calm my nerves a bit

I'm very inexperienced when it comes to mechanics. What is the cost that I should be looking?

*Also - Thank you guys for the comments!

If you don't wanna DIY, I would say, purchase a set on your own, and send them to the mechanics, half an hour labor at most.

What do you say, Tom?

Also this one:

BMW X5 3.0i - Main Engine Components - Page 4

It all depends on what kind of pulley you want to change, AC pulley or alternator pulley...........
