Looked up the part number of a car i know of as a proper 325i, gave the only part number as

01 RMFD GENERATOR 90A/95A 1 01/1986 12311726603 $312.48

when i look up the part number for the 320i touring it gives

01 GENERATOR 80A 1 12311726601 ENDED
01 GENERATOR 90A/95A 1 12311726602 ENDED
01 RMFD GENERATOR 90A/95A 1 12311726603 $312.48
01 RMFD GENERATOR 80A 1 12311726604 ENDED

so can i safely presume my alternator from a 1990 320i touring will work in a 325i?(and vice versa) there isnt a BMW part number on the alternator

Remember that the alternator is earthed when you refit,cost me £80 when I forgot...
