I have been on euro car parts looking for a new alternator belt for my 318is. There are 4 to choose from, each different to each other judging by the images.
Can any one steer me in the write direction please
hopefully this link below works

iS alternator belt is a 1025mm x 9.5mm vee belt. 12mm longer than a 316i/318i one.
Most belts are 10.0mm wide, which is close enough.
