vs
Alternator Mitsuboshi or OEM BMW
Reviews
My alternator went and I never had any lights, just weird electrical gremlins and batteries dying. Replaced it myself, took maybe 2 hours and the part was like $150 after the core return
Pros: easy to replace
Cons: weird electrical gremlins
Vehicle:
BMW
+1 for Denso. Friend of mine got a used Mitsubishi alternator for his Murano with slightly higher Amp rating (doesn't matter, just means it will handle load better).
Pros: handle load better
Vehicle:
Nissan Murano
you dont even need ISTA to figure out the alternator is dead. A fresh and charged batter will sit at 13v, used should always be around 12v. while charging it should be 13v. the fact this is dropping while the car is running suggests a shot alternator right off the bat
Vehicle:
BMW M2
