Broken Serpentine Belt

I was asking myself the same question when I got home.

My guess is: $3,300 dollars COD.

Wellll might find out soon. Just rolled 90k miles and my car is in a parking lot right now, because last night I had the same symptoms happen to me. Going to look at now.

135000 miles.

2007 328xi coupe sport

My car just shreded its serpentine belt.

I replaced the Belt and the tensor pully. I was a block from home when it happened so I didn't drive far. But now it is coding P0302, P0304, P0305,
and p07xx Lean on both banks.

The car ran very rough and would stall on a quick start.

I replaced all six sparks and coils I cleaned the MAF sensor.

The car now codes the same codes at start if the car is warm and I clear the codes they do not come on again until I restart.

So I decided to just keep going and just manage to drive the car without the power steering working properly just to pick up the pizza since I'm schedule an appointment to bring the car in today for the driver's window, headlamp that was out and for the adaptive headlamp system was not working. I'm at a stop light and when it turned green I pull away from the light as I get through the intersection I just heard all this noise under the hood like the serpentine belt broke and sounded like I was running it over too. I quickly pull over and pop the hood again and shine my phone with the LED flashlight on it and sure enough the belt snapped and was shredded up pretty good. The car is a 2011 with only 7500 miles on it. I couldn't believe I had a belt snap at 7500 miles. It's almost unheard of to me. I've never once snapped a belt on any of my cars. So I ended up calling roadside assistance and they had a tow truck out to me in about 60-70 minutes. I'm curious to know what caused the belt to snap like it did. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated after I talk to the dealer.
