Product Information

170 amp remanufactured alternator

If your BMW is running out of power (literally) it's likely due to a worn or damaged alternator. The battery onboard the car stores enough power to start the car while the alternator is responsible for powering the car while it's running as well as maintaining the battery charge. If the alternator is not charging the battery you will run out of power since the battery alone can't support all of your BMW's functions.

Alternator

If your car is running out of power (literally) it's likely due to a worn or failing alternator. Your vehicles car battery is responsible for storing enough energy to start the car while the alternator powers all the vehicles systems with the engine running while maintaining a battery charge. If your car dies while driving and the battery has little to no charge it's most likely due to a failed or failing alternator. Before condemning an alternator you can perform a simple test with a DVOM (digital volt meter). Also make sure the belt which drives the alternator is properly tensioned as well.

Alternator Failure Symptoms
  • Battery drains while car is running
  • Low voltage generated while car is running
  • Dim or flickering headlights
  • Dim or flickering interior lights
  • Electrical systems such as the radio, power windows, sunroof do not function

Works great even on Pre 03/2012 car.
I have a 3/2011 produced 335i N55 which specifies a different Denso alternator. However, the unit is only available remanufactured from BMW and has a backorder with no ETA. It was unacceptable to have my car down for so long- the Genuine unit costs over 1k with a $250 core charge. This worked a charm on my car, and charges the battery correctly. However- there is a permanent code in the DME for Generator Communication Bus Failure - 3847. It does not set a CEL nor battery light.
