Alternators

The alternator in your vehicle is a very important part under the hood of your vehicle that keeps it powered throughout the day. It's important to pay attention to potential warning signs that your alternator might need replacement so that you can address the issue right away! Many vehicles have a battery or alternator warning light on the dashboard that will turn on and remain lit after you start your engine, giving you a clear indicator that something is wrong with a part of your electrical system. Through the use of your BMW's alternator, mechanical energy gets converted to electrical energy, which is used by a variety of systems while your car is running. Another sign of an issue with your alternator can be dim or flickering lights when you're using your car. This can come from your exterior headlights or even the gauges and radio inside the vehicle. The type of energy produced by your alternator keeps parts of your vehicle powered, like your battery and other electrical components. If you find that you need a replacement alternator, we sell OEM varieties here for your BMW make and model. It's important to use OEM parts in your vehicle, as they provide a guaranteed fit and higher quality than aftermarket parts.
