Hey! I appreciate the response. I'm a new BMW owner, so I was wondering which belt it was? Timing Belt/Serpentine/etc etc.
This is fresh to me, so i apologize if that's a rookie question to ask!
Do you have any estimated costs if I were to do it myself vs at a dealership?
Also, if the oil is leaking, wouldn't it damage the new belt, or not immediately?
