SAVE your BMW Engine | Crank Seal Guard | Serpentine Belt Replacement

Hopefully this combination of routine and preventative maintenance will save your BMW Engine. The interval replacement for the serpentine belt is 40,000 - 50,00 miles and while you're there you might as well install the crank seal guard (thanks again to @Kies Motorsports ) and don't forget to check on the tensioner.
