Greetings!
I'm planning on changing the timing belt on my new-to-me 1996 850 sedan with 72k miles. I want to ensure I get the correct belt, as I know that this is an interference engine.....
According to several online and local parts distributors, the belts are selected based on an engine number lime 131035 or similar. However, according to the engine info plate on the timing belt cover, I have a B5254S, article #6821569, series #548663. The only other core engine number I could find was located centered on the back of the block, below the head, and above the exhaust manifold. It was 1001683 P01 (I think - I was reading it through a mirror!)
If anyone can clarify the relationship between these numbers, or let me know where to look for the '131035' number, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks - Joe
