This is a genuine BMW compact alternator, part number 12 31 2 248 296. The number stamped on the part is 12312248296; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 2248296. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Alternator with motor and mounting. BMW has since replaced it with 7792092.

It fits every E46 body style (318d, 318td, 320d, 320td and 330d, 1998–2005), with the M47, M47N, M57 or M57N engines.

BMW draws it on the ALTERNATOR PARTS 120A/150A Valeo (12_0914) diagram. BMW lists the quantity used as “as required”. It weighs about 7.3 kg (16 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
