Drive belts - engine

Having far too much time on my hands and obviously flush with dosh... Possibly just nuts... I'd like to have a complete set of drive belts for my 2.2, e85, 2005. ECP come up with just 2 - is that correct? Also, reading Bimmerfest or some such site, there is much talk of replacing mechanical tensioners with hydrolic. What's that all about?

Cheers folks.

Hi lee, I recently changed the ancillary belts on swmbo's z3 2.2 which is the same engine as yours I think & that had two belts.
They must be describing the jockey wheels that tension the belts, our tensioners were sprung loaded but maybe they were changed to a different type on later cars?
Regards
