Alternator OEM Audi or OEM BMW
My 19 c8 3.0 had the same exact issue within 4 months of buying it last year. And the car died on me mid fwy in dtla. Take it in to ur nearby dealer theres an open recall on the alternator i believe.
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Might be a coincidence, but those lights all came on about a month before the Electical System: Malfunction light came on in my 2021 S6. They replaced my battery and alternator.

Paid $1,214 out the door. Alternator... No experience with cars and don\u2019t feel comfortable installing myself. Based off local availability, I can\u2019t imagine an option I would\u2019ve been happier with. Of course it\u2019s overpriced, but I can justify the spend based off how seamless the experience was.
Pros: seamless experience
Cons: overpriced
Vehicle:
BMW
Had the same issue a few months back. Put in a new alternator and it’s been perfect since.
Pros: perfect since

BMW
You need to try using a OEM REMAN or OEM NEW alternator. Aftermarket items can really affect BSD.
Pros: affects BSD
Cons: aftermarket items
Vehicle:
BMW
It went out at 40,000 miles and was replaced without issue by the dealer which provided an A6 as a loaner for the week it took to replace the alternator. I still love the car and would not move to Mercedes
Pros: replaced without issue
Cons: went out at 40000 miles
Vehicle:
Audi S6
Mileage: 40000 km
I took the alternator apart as well, but it's quite worn and a new one does not cost a fortune, so it's not worth it to refurb it.
Pros: new one affordable
Cons: quite worn
Vehicle:
Audi 80
I ended up getting a new one from BMW after two remans failed with once catastrophically failing and catching fire almost burning up my car.
Cons: catastrophically failing, catching fire
Vehicle:
BMW
Audi really dropped the ball on building such a poor performing alternator!
Cons: poor performing
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Part number: 4N0903028P
My 540i at 141k started eating me alive, Alternator blew up
Cons: alternator failure
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 141000 km
