Destroyed alternator #1.
It's f'n cold out. I went out to slowly warm up the oil and give it a good flogging at operating temp. Hoping to get the oil in the ~230F range. Put the engine under heavy load several times at operating temp. Got a whirring goose-like noise. Power is down... so much drag on the motor that it shut the motor off. Slight burnt smell. Motor stopped abruptly again while entering the driveway. No leaks. No faults shown on the MIW. S/C belt jumped a rib on the S/C pulley. Bah

104K miles. 102K with S/C. Pretty sure it was living on borrowed time.
Edit: This old post might be confusing because I requested the thread title to be changed from T/C to alternator. Disregard.

Took belt off, fired up the SAV. Still whining, but only the good whine that I'm used to.
 The alternator bearing is toast. (I guess I can consider that a blessing compared to drivetrain costs.)Searching for a Bosch AL0734X returns a few better prices than what Tischer BMW is asking. Turner Motorsport - Item# AL0734X - Bosch Alternator - 150 amp (water cooled) - 1999-2003 E39 540i, E38 740i & E53 X5 V8 - E38 E39 X5 Lookup By Part Number RockAuto Parts Catalog

Looking those prices makes me feel better about paying $ 357 for my replacement alternator. I was a little pissed at paying that because on line I could find it for 100 cheaper or more, but I needed my X so I just grab the part locally. Of coarse mine isn't a 4.6 with s/c, that's gotta be alot of fun to drive. But you are right at least it is not a drive train problem.
