Product Details

The Continental Inch Belt line focuses on application-matched belt sizing for vehicles that require inch-based dimensions. PK050326 is built for select BMW air conditioning drives, including 2006-2008 BMW Z4, 2001-2006 BMW M3, and 2001-2002 BMW Z3. For buyers searching for a BMW Z4 air conditioning serpentine belt, BMW M3 A/C belt, or BMW Z3 accessory drive belt, this part number provides a direct OE-style replacement path.

Continental uses advanced self-tensioning technology in this product family to reduce reliance on mechanical tensioners in specific applications. That approach supports proper belt control where the vehicle design calls for self-tensioned operation. If you are cross-checking Continental PK050326 against your service records, verify the air conditioning drive configuration and OE belt length before installation.

What It Helps Address

• Squealing or slipping at the air conditioning drive
• Cracked, glazed, or worn accessory drive belt surfaces
• Incorrect belt length on OE-style BMW A/C applications
• Loss of belt grip from age-related EPDM wear
• Fitment issues when replacing a worn BMW Z4, M3, or Z3 A/C belt

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and air conditioning application before installation. Match the OE belt length and routing exactly, and inspect pulleys and tensioning components for wear before fitting the new belt. This part number, PK050326, is intended for the listed BMW applications only and should be verified against the existing belt specification.
