I'm going to Vato Zone tomorrow to get it tested.
My regulator looked like the one on the right.
I was able to pull the voltage regulator off the alternator by just removing the airbox. If I were you I would do this first and order a regulator off bma ASAP before you get stranded on the side of the road like I was yesterday...60 miles from home in the country w/ no cell coverage.
Charlie, I have a bosch. I went ahead an ordered a new alternator from autozone for $190, but I'm wondering if that is overkill. Not sure how old the alternator is, but I know for sure the voltage regulator is trashed. How long does the alternator last? I have about 280k on my 318isRenting my rear wheel bearing tool kit. SIR
