Alternator Bosch or OEM BMW

IMO a rebuilt German Bosch unit is far superior to the Chinese alts.

I’m running my a 120amp Bosch but my car is m42 it’s honestly overkill for my setup with aftermarket speakers, amp, and sub.

bosch alternator is better. get a bosch alternator.

Rockauto.com shows reman units, both Bosch and Valeo. As far as interchange with Bosch, I dont know, but worked at the dealer and they always asked if it was Bosch or Veleo because it could not be determined by Vin.

I managed to get a reman Bosch 150a/140a last year from Advance Auto for around $190.

I just replaced the one in my daughter's Mk 4 with a rebuilt 120A Bosch one from Rock Auto last week.

I have replaced my alternator with a good "?" Bosch alternator and it charged for 3 days but now the battery light is on until the motor is above 2500 rpm

Sometimes when u replace the alternator but the battery is bad it'll just fry your new alternator.

I replaced the Alternator on my 2016 Mini Cooper Paceman with a brand new Bosch Alternator. For whatever reason the Alternator is only putting out 11-11.6 volts.

I had a Bosch alternator die in <6 months. Got installed in November 2024 and it died a few weeks ago.
