After Christmas I addressed the pulleys and tensioners after closer inspection. The idler pulley was OK-ish but at this point...yeah. I accidentally bought an extra pulley...Removing & replacing the rest was pretty easy...The belts are in great shape so I'm not replacing those (I know, shocking). And of course it wouldn't be a kiznarsh project without replacing hood struts. So much better now you guys.

Pros: easy replacement, better now

Cons: chassis brace annoying

Vehicle: BMW Z4
