It's an 120 amp Valeo that's 16 years old. Do I have to use Valeo? What about Bosch?
What about brands that state: "valeo compontent"?
It's an old X5 with 218K miles so I don't want to spend a bunch. The Daytona dealer wanted $617. for a Valeo/ BMW . What?

I got my brand new Valeo (180A I think) unit off of Ebay for ~$250 for a 4.4i. Just as a comparison for you.
Or, this popped up: BMW Parts and BMW Accessories | Bavarian Autosport
$299 for a new 140A Valeo unit from Bavauto. I used a 2004 3.0i as the criteria... verify it fits your truck first.
