Please, genuine alternators are only like $30 more and you won't suffer these issues. And also they last.
Pros: lasts longer, avoids issues
Cons: suffers issues

Mazda
I went and got a Mazda one off of Moss bc I was sick of AutoZone remanned ones blowing up. It's plenty nice for stock electrical load
Pros: nice for stock load
Cons: AutoZone ones blowing up

Got some faulty alternators from autozone that were overcharging or undercharging. I just bought an oem reman from mazdaswag, (or any mazda dealership store online). Works fine now.
Pros: Works fine now
Cons: faulty alternators
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
Have been burned by aftermarket alternators. I'll spend the money for an OEM every time.
Pros: OEM every time
Cons: burned by aftermarket

Cons: alternator failure

I'm surprised Mazda is rated so poorly, I had a Mazda MPV for 8 years and honestly the only problem I had was the driver's side window gear was worn out, and the alternator.
Cons: window gear worn, alternator failed
