I am at 42 hours. I hear an occasional screech from under the hood once in a while recently, usually shortly after startup, this is a new sound. I guessed a loose fan belt might be making the noise.
The bolts on the alternator were very tight! After loosening the top adjustment bolt it still didn't move, had to loosen the nut on the end of the lower pivot bolt.
Then I noticed the wear on the lower radiator hose. I put a tie wrap around the alternator bracket and the hose, to keep the hose away from the belt.
If you have a new BX, check your hose!
