x5 4.4 alternator price
outside of dealer (who i have yet to call), but i got about 900 to 1300 from two shops.

agree or disagree? any price points?

1. dealer? (yes, i will call. they always want me to bring it in before they quote me anything....)
2. previous experiences? 3rd party price?

Thanks!

It may be a different current rating, but I picked up a new alternator from Ebay for $225 shipped (for my 2001 330). It took me less than 25 minutes to install too. The X5's seem pretty easy as well.

There are deals out there. You may be able to find a remanufactured one (Bosch) from Autozone or Napa for around the $350-400 price range.

Good luck,
Daniel

last call out - he said that the alternator has some sort of coolant feature which is why it is so expensive

$436 at Bavauto, includes $60 refundable core. It'll take longer than 30 minutes to replace, but is nowhere as difficult as others have described.

Ike,
are you doing maintenance or this alternator fails already on you?
Thanks.

Mine died heading to a football game last year, transmission default program the whole nine then system failure.

Towing was free with my insurance company but paid 1200 for it at the dealer. They broke my electronic thermostat which they replaced no charge, they said that is a 200 part, so be carefull. The dealer said has to be replaced from the bottom of the car.
