Hi gents

For some reason I'm struggling to get the correct fan belt for my 87 350i?
I've given the code on my broken one to company and they are struggling to find it?

Anyone had this problem?

Last time I bought a few, I took them down the motor factors to match the size, they had a measuring dohicky. Non standard on mine. I assume the belt is not in your hands?

Hi Mate...You could give these guys a call, They have an AVX10 x 1100mm but its 8mm deep and not 9.5...Cheers...Ziga

the 8 might work but will sit lower in the vee and might bottom out therefore not gripping the pully.Always worth a try though
