Help with Belts. Z3 3. 0

[Uncle_Clanger]

All I want to do is buy a ContiTech auxiliary belt and an air conditioning belt for a 3.0 Z3 doing my head in! can't seem to find the brand I want. Seem to be loads on ebay that say they fit the 3. 2 Z3 M and others that fit the 1.9s

I decided on ContiTech, read they have a good reputation.. Can anyone suggest where to go? A link maybe? Is continental the best for belts? Or are there considered better alternatives?

Which brand do BMW use? And are they 3 times the price?

First step is to go to http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sel...arket=EUR&prod=20001200&engine=M54&steering=R [my specs] and get the part number, go to ebay and get the equivalent I suppose

edit: I can get genuine BMW for AUD$50 but I am sure you can get oem not branded much cheaper, perhaps as low as AUD$30

edit 2: Link to what you want http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BMW-Comp...3e956f6&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=4&sd=222429793838

Now that was easy I've used RealOEM.com when I've had a specific part number, never worked out I could manually browse for model specific parts.

I think I've now got what I'm looking for... I've noticed some of the ebay sellers do "kits, I'm going to change all the pulleys too so this might be a good option. Just want to use the best bits possible if I'm going to use aftermarket.

Which brings me onto belt tensioners... The bilstein febi ones are what I'm thinking of.. Anybody fitted these?
