Detailed Description

The Bosch AL0703N alternator is a new replacement unit for vehicles that require a 120-amp, 14-volt charging solution. It uses an internal regulator and internal fan, with a 6-groove pulley already installed, making it a direct-fit style replacement for the listed BMW models. The aluminum case helps keep the unit lightweight while maintaining the structure needed for underhood operation. This part cross-references Bosch OE-style applications for the same vehicle fitment.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s connector style, pulley configuration, and amperage requirement before installation. This unit is listed with plug type 335, clockwise rotation, and a 6-groove pulley, so matching the original charging-system layout is important for proper fitment on BMW 325i, 330i, X5, and related applications. Confirm the vehicle is specified for the 120-amp alternator version noted in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Bosch Premium Alternators are built and tested for replacement use in charging-system service. The AL0703N is a new alternator, not remanufactured, and is produced to meet the application requirements shown for the listed BMW models.
