sam726 29 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 Hi there, Just looking to buy a replacement alternator for my 1990 535iS E34, just wanting to know if anybody has anything i could pick up today, am willing to look at new and second hand goods, depending on price and condition. Thanks so much, Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
