Alternator / generator: $800 or $700

got the battery light at 110k miles. battery is 3 months old and reads 12v with engine off. with engine off voltage drops to 11volts so a new alternator it is.

A remanufactured bosch unit with a BMW sticker costs $800 at the dealer. my wife wanted her car back ASAP so we bought it there.

mail order for a bosch unit would have been about $700. I think we'll have an easier time with the dealer if we had to warranty it.

the biggest PITA in the job is I have to drain the coolant. otherwise it's just bolt on.
