Hi Guys, im sure this may have been asked before, apologies. The alternator on my IS has bitten the dust, can i replace it with one from an m40 engined car / will one off an early m42'd e36 fit?

cheers for any help!

alternator will fit from an m40 but you will need to swap the drive pulley over from the m42 one .
