I'm curious about your pulleys and belts.. What symptoms indicated that they need replacing? I'm wondering if there is a relation between those belt/pulley failures and power steering pump issues, as they are literally connected and part of the same serpentine belt accessory system.

Can these parts be replaced without waiting for them to fail assuming car is still under warranty or with extended warranties?
Would be a hassle having to wait until the car stops in the highway if BMW is aware anyway that these things give up after a while.
I'm at 45k now, out of std warranty. I have the an extended warranty with platinum coverage but still not sure it these are regular parts they cover.
