Alternator Denso or OEM BMW

I feel like I got a steal for my alternator replaced in my Avalon. Battery light came on and I went and bought a reman Denso at NAPA for $340 after the refund for the core. It was done in 45 minutes

I went with a reman Denso alternator over a new off brand alternator for my Camry and had no issues.

I've replaced the alternator (failed on me), done waterpump & thermostat (180,000km done as a precaution).

Update: I ended up sourcing my own parts and sent them a quote from someone else and they matched it. Will have a Denso alternator installed and Costco battery for about $1k.

Manual, buy a reman denso or used or new OEM off the eBay or other seller, harder to rebuild those in my experience.

Have never had to warranty out a denso alternator.

Denso and alternators from Toyota are the only ones we\u2019ll use for this exact reason.

I bought a reman Denso from NAPA. First one worked but sounded like a rattling box of rocks from the getgo. A week later I swapped it out for another Denso Reman and it has been working fine for 3-4 years now.

My friend’s BMW X5 had an alternator fail at 50k, she does a lot of city driving so lots of start/stops.

The alternator (new OEM Denso, 2nd one, installed about 100kmi ago) on my wife's 2007 Solara v6 3MZFE with 227kmi just died last night. She didn't make it home.
