I should add that I had done quite a few miles in the last 6 months, around 5000. But still, an alternator should be good for longer than that, otherwise BMW would be constantly handing them out under warranty to every E46 M3 or CSL owner.

5000 miles seems a little short of the mark.

Mine gave up at exactly 50k miles (last summer) and then the replacement died 100miles later! On my third alternator now and all seems to be fine..
Probably a dodgy batch?

Mine is original!! Fine for now.
That's done it! Hope Gareth carries a spare for Munich!

Not sure if I'm happy or very scared!
