Just bought a engine who got a smashed electric generator, so i need to buy a new.
Is it the same generator as on a m62?
Or can i use from something else?
Checked bmwfans but it only say that only the s62 electric generator will fit.

Anyone got one for sale?

Need a fast answer, thx Steffen.

Just to clarify, are you referring to the 'alternator'?

 

[tuttifrutti]

Yes, i was not sure if i should call it alternator or generator since i thought both words where viable.

Thanks for correcting me, steffen.

No probs, just thought it would clarify for anyone who could maybe help...

No, the alternators are different, the S62 is 120 Amp, the M62 is 150 Amp. Cheapest I've seen is here, looks like 320 Euros after shipping and core charge refund:

Turner Motorsport | Bosch Alternator - E39 M5 & Z8 - 120amp

My alternator is next on My list... I need to find a good spot to get it rebuilt its not down on power but the bushing makes a squeaking sound when the car is warmed up... Def the Bearings... I may just drop the $800 on a new one...

If I recall Herrubermench was getting some info on a company reputable enough to rebuild but I havnt seen any updates yet...

Mailed the two people who sell them on ebay, but will it make a difference if i buy one form m62?
I'm using my s62 engine in my e30 so if its 120a or 150 will it make a difference?

Thanks for help guys.

the mountingpoints are different between the s62 and m62

you need the real deal unfortunatly.

mfizzlenyc, i did a refurb on my alternator. it was 250$ so against the 800$new its a no brainer
after refurb its like brand new

every $ worth , after the refurb my car always started right up, before i sometimes needed 2 attempts.

Surprised the M62 jobby is a higher current, do they have a house-sized battery too?

 

[Mfreakin5]

where is the alternator $800? It's only $600 for a reman'd unit from Tischer and that's without any core charge. And a reman'd Bosch unit from Tuner, as I posted above, comes out to around $420 after shipping and core charge refund. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

Thanks for the reply... wow I don't get anything remote to your situation my car starts on the first second I turn the key I barely hear the car turn just the explosion of the motor firing.... I guess its a good thing... Im gonna def gonna have it rebuilt especially since my symptoms are just bearings squeaking

thanks again

btw what company did you use? I see your in Europe so I think I need to find some one over here...

:biggrin: Any vids, pics ?

Havent startert to build yet, prepering the engine atm with engine mounts etc.

The S62 uses a bespoke Alternator. The M62 will not even come close to fitting....it's also liquid cooled. You can have it rewound or replace it with a remanufactured or used unit.
