BMW E36 Serpentine Belt Replacement

Quick DIY repair of a serpentine belt on my brother's bmw e36. Very simple, easy repair to do for the DIY mechanic. Belts are typically very easy and straight forward to replace on most cars, however snags are possible. In the six cylinder e36's, especially 328I and M3, there is very little space to replace your serpentine belt. Also, if your tensioner pulley threads are stripped, it can be a little more difficult to replace the belt. The most important thing is to remember how the belt was oriented, and that the AC belt has to be removed prior to the serpentine belt.
