Go to www.realoem.com and you can look up all the parts for the specific BMW with the use of the production date. If you have any questions let me know.
P.S. Most likely, if its an E36, you're going to need a Bosch alternator.
Edit: Since yours is a 318 with a 325 swap you have an M50 with Vanos. If you need to know how to take off the alternator, let me know I've done it twice and I can make it really easy for you. it takes about 30 minutes. |
How do you know that and what does that mean?
