Original BMW Alternators

The alternator in your BMW model is responsible for turning mechanical energy into electrical energy or electricity. Like the car battery, the alternator controls various parts of your vehicle. Some of these parts include the dashboard lights, headlights, car radio, heated seats, and the windshield wipers.

When Do I Need to Replace My Alternator?

Most owner's manuals recommend changing the alternator at least once every seven years or between 80,000 to 150,000 miles. If you think you have to replace yours sooner than that, there are some warning signs that you can watch out for. These signs include:

• Warning lights pop up on your dashboard
• Your car battery is dead
• You smell something burning from under the hood
• Electrical system failure
• Any interior or exterior lighting malfunctions
