Alternator Denso or OEM BMW

I kept driving it and it eventually completely lost voltage. Threw another Denso in there and it’s golden.

Put a Denso rem one from Rock Auto on my 07 and it was great.

That’s the OEM alternator without the Honda label on it.

Denso reman from rock auto, youtube the job. Plan for up to 4 hours if you're a first timer.

I recently replaced the alternator on my 99 1MZ Solara (really just a 2 door "sporty" Camry), I went to an alternator/starter rebuild shop and swapped my 24-year old alternator for one they had in stock they'd rebuilt with a Denso core.

Beware of cheap aftermarket junk. I would only get an OEM or denso alternator.

Or since Denso is the OEM, you could get a remanufactured one at [NAPA](https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/DEN2105000) or [RockAuto](https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/denso,2105000,alternator+/+generator,2412), but it looks like they're out of stock. I would not trust the cheaper remanufactured ones that are made by the other brands. Denso is reliable, and I'd trust their reman parts, if you decide to go the reman route.

But try to get denso one or oem. Aftermarket ones tend to not last a long time.

Parts store house brand parts are notoriously poor quality when it comes to electronic parts such as sensors, starters, alternators, etc.

I ended up getting a new one from BMW after two remans failed with once catastrophically failing and catching fire almost burning up my car.
