Post the last seven of your VIN so we can look at the real oem and determine which alternator.

The m62 I've worked on had water cooled models and not terribly difficult to r & r. Comes right out the front only difficulty usually is to remove the radiator fan
@andrew, you might have already answered this before but do you prefer the Bosch or the Valeo alternator on the M54? Just curious...
