I'm pretty sure this is from either an E36 325i or E36 328i

But when I phoned BMW they said only 80 Amp alternators were fitted to a 328i and it wasn't from a 325i either.

The info on the sticker reads:

Bosch

0 120 469 007

N1 -> 14V 35/105A

1 738 511

I guessed the "1 738 511" may be the BMW part number but it neither goes into Real OEM or is recognised by BMW (thought it may have been superseeded)

So I am lost lol

Plese help

It is deffinately a later type as it has a polly V type belt pully on it

Many thanx

Andy
