Serpentine belt

Hi

Can someone confirm the serpentine belt change mileage for an n53 engine please?

Mine is on 60k miles at the moment and no signs of wear but I don't want the engine to lunch on it either.

Thanks
Mike

Having seen the results of a shredded belt being sucked into the engine via the crankshaft pulley seal, I changed mine at 50K and will be doing so again soon, at 100K.

Thanks Phil, will get one ordered.

Genuine BMW is best bet I imagine.

It’s not really the belt that wears on it’s own. Leaking ofhg, loose power steering pump/pulley, or pulley hitting the subframe usually causes the belt to shred.

Mines an f10 so no power steering but perhaps worth chucking a new tensioner on?

Apologies if this is a common question btw I did search but didn't find anything.

Only oil leak on my engine is at the back of the sump, small leak, misting not dripping.
