OEM BMW Alternators Online

What Are Alternators and What do They do?

Simply put, alternators turn mechanical energy into electrical energy. Your BMW model wouldn't be able to run without one. The alternator charges the battery, powers the headlights, taillights, and dash lights, and even powers your windshield wipers.

What Are The Signs of a Bad Alternator?

If you have a failing alternator on your hands, there are some warning signs you can watch for. The signs of a failing alternator include:

• Warning lights pop up on the dashboard
• Issues with lighting
• Electronics behaving erratically
• Engine noises
• A dead battery
• A burning smell coming from the battery or alternator
• Alternator fluid leaks

If you notice any of the issues above, be sure to inspect the alternator and test the charging system as soon as you can.
