Before you purchase a RMFD alternator from a nearby parts store, please check your orig alternator brand, amp (120? or 140?) and water cooled versus non water cooled.
GL!

Oil filter housing gasket, if I do that I bet I can get it from a local dealer or maybe NAPA? I know there is a leak there...needs to be done at some point anyway.
Is there anything other than a 32mm wrench I need to get the clutch fan off? The eBay kits have some bar that comes with the wrench, not sure what it's for? Also, mine is a 5-speed...I read some things about how on E46s, only the auto tranny needs to have the clutch fan removed. I assume that's not true for our cars?
And, are you guys saying that the oil filter housing needs to be removed to get to the alternator? I've seen conflicting opinions on that.
