I don't know about the elks, but those squirrels will sure give you a hard
time if you turn without a signal...

I woudn't know that because my Jeep has Vbelts, and the BMW uses a spring
loaded tensioner.

Re: Go to MOPAR for a serpentine belt...?
I would get my belts from the corner auto parts store, and not give it a
second thought. The odds of breaking a belt on any given trip are very low,
the odds of breaking both are even lower. If your current belt is old enough
to give you pause to worry, install the new one while you are still at home,
and carry the old one as a spare.
