BMW Repair: changing drivebelts on 1994 325is, 1994 bmw 325is, bmw 325is


Question
I need to change the drive belts (2) on my 1994 BMW 325IS.

Q1:  Is there a place on-line (internet) to get instructions?
Q2:  How much interference must be removed to change the drivebelts?  It looks like I have to remove the grill, radiator,etc..

Answer
Joe, I am sure there are plenty of enthusiast web site that might give better instruction or show pictures. You can remove the mechanical fan and shroud if you want more room. I do the belts from the bottom of the vehicle. Remove the under engine cover if doing from the bottom or fan and shroud if from the top. Remove caps for tensioner pulley if you have a hydraulic style belt tensioner. Depress the belt tensioners and remove belts. Note or draw routing of belts before removal. Sorry for being vague but it is hard to describe the removal and repair intructions are poor.
