this question is on my other car (not as much fun to work on as the 02) and i already posted it to the e30 board but i know that the folks on this board are a lot more responsive and helpful so plwase show some tolerance and give me some advice if you have any. had to replace the alternator on an 87 325e. along with the alternator i need to replace the v belt. i've never replaced a v-belt on this car before but i figured that it wouldn't be too hard. as i look at it the only way that i can see to put it on is to loosen and remove the belt that runs from the pulley on the lower part of the block to the compressor (at least i think that's the thing that this particular belt is running to - it's on the right side of car). here are the questions: does that lower belt (compressor to lower block pulley) have to be removed to put the alternator v-belt on?? if that belt has to come off how do you do it?? i don't see how it's done. it looks like the v-belt circles the alternator, the water pump and the lower engine block pulley. is that right?? i can't find any diagrams in the bentley manual that i have. thanks all. tim, 87 325 72 tii i don't do a lot of work on this one so i'm stumped
