Well, i was about 1-2 miles away from home when my cars dash lights got really dim, along with the headlights. I knew that wasnt good. I got to a red light and the car stalled when I put it in neutral. I managed to start her right up again and drive her to a safe parking zone, before she stalled out within 30 seconds. i walked home from there since i didnt have my cell phone on me to call for a ride.
i figure its the alternator, after reading some posts on other forums. one person even said that Bosch wasnt able to produce the alternators for BMW in enough numbers, so BMW had some french company make em for later year E30s. I dont know if thats true, but quite a few ppl had theirs die at around 75k, and one guy at 33k. im at 65k and mine just took a shit on me. i dont know for sure if thats it, but it seems like it, unless you all think otherwise.
please post ideas on what the problem may be? also, post places where i should buy a replacement if in fact that part is bad. thanks!
btw, anyone recommend any of these?
