It fits every E36 body style (318i and 318ti, 1992–1999), with the M42, M43 or M44 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Alternator, individual parts 80A (12_0591) and Alternator, individual parts 80A (12_0608). BMW lists the quantity used as “as required”. It weighs about 5.9 kg (13 lb).

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