Title: HELP: My alternator is dead...
Post by: FedE36 on October 05, 2008, 05:06:13 AM

Hi, my alternator just died today and I am desperately in need to get my baby back on the road! I have a '94 318i and I want to know if I can use any other alternator (e30? M50?) on my car. Any help will be appreciated!!!
