01 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→Genuine BMW part 12 31 7 533 270: Generator (exchange unit). The number stamped on the part is 12317533270; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7533270. BMW's catalog calls it “EXCH generator”. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Alternator with motor and mounting. It supersedes the older numbers 7521491, 7532966 and 7533268, so a part carrying any of them is the same part.
It fits every E46 body style (316i, 316ti, 318i and 318ti, 2001–2004), with the N40, N42, N45 or N46 engines.
BMW draws it on 4 diagrams, among them Compact Alternator (12_1082) and Alternator single parts, 90/110A Valeo (12_1170). It weighs about 7.0 kg (15 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
