249. , is this thing worth it? Will it really work with my X5 , 3.0 ? Will it last ? My original lasted 15 years, 217,550 miles..

The one thing that I would be worried about with a rewounded repaired alternator is that it does not include the bearing replaced in the alternator. At some point that bearing starts to give and before you know it you are changing the alternator all over again. Just go with a bosch remanufactured premium alternator to get the best that the market can give you. Even the BMW one from the dealer are mostly remanufactured.
