Hey, have any of you purchased non-MB belts for the E55? Experiences?

I think I'm going to buy some Dayco belts today unless I someone gives me a compelling reason not to.

The Dayco is good for the AC but I prefer the gates belt for the Supercharger. I have used both and the Gates is nice.. Might as well just use the same brand on both belts, whatever you decide.

Can anyone post part numbers for the belts (with stock and aftermarket pulleys)...or an online store where you can buy them?

rockauto.com has belts from a few manufacturers, thats where I bought mine, and a lot of other parts for different cars over the years. They generally have very good prices.

The tensioner lets you use the same belts with larger pulleys.

Here are some of the dayco part numbers: http://www.mvreader.com/multiview/da...to=&engine=BLV

stock belt is 50" or 50.5" .....i could barely get it on with my evosport pullies. and when i say barely i mean it took two people and there was absolutely no slack in the tensioner. i went to a 51.5" which is perfect

cars with larger crank pulleys should def go to a longer belt in order to have some slack for the tensioner to come down.
