Serpentine Belt

I'm going to change the belt tensioner and want to change the belt as well.There appears to be more than one belt though.How does one tell which belt to get? Its a 2002 R50.

R50 non S only has one belt size. This is the correct one

and this is the tensioner

Of course you can always get a belt from the dealer. They can match the VIN to make sure it's right.

I was happily surprised how simple it was to replace the tensioner and serpentine belt on a R50 model. The key is to have the right tools - 10 mm long open end wrench, the Schawben tensioner, and L-shape tool. Took less than 20 mins.
