Hi Shimmy,

From -> http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BL95&mospid=50641&btnr=11_2998&hg=11&fg=18

it says for the belt 6PK X 1460

The 6PK means it has 6 grooves.

Shimmy get rid of the alternator, whack 4 little dyno's on the wheels, think of the weight saving.

Your fucked if you get stuck in traffic though.
