I noticed the squeaking pulley sound from my car while I was in a parking lot, I haven't really looked at it too closely but I'm guessing from the sound that I'm going to have to replace one or more of the pulleys. Is this something that is easily DIYable or should I just let the mechanic handle it? Also if I do send it to the mechanic what should I expect it to cost?

The belt pulleys are an easy DIY. Do both and a new belt at the same time.

Great time to do water pump while you are there.

The pulleys were fairly cheap.

Buy a mechanic's stethoscope to help identify what pulley is making noise if you are not planning on replacing all of them at once. They are super cheap and very useful.

Belts are very easy to do, and should only take like 10 mins. I have a spare of each belt if you want a good deal on them, I could hook you up. The main serpentine belt is Continental and the smaller AC belt is Genuine BMW. PM if you need, if not I'll keep em on my shelf for later down the road.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190402/5fc5c7ab068044a0eabad26d8fdc17f9.jpg
