Iv been advised to change my alternator by my mechanic..
Will an alternator off an e34/2002 fit an e21?? Someone has suggested it does fit... if that is the case my mate is breaking an e34 so i can take that one off..

And also if anyone needs any bits of an e34 let me know...

I think so, but you'll just need to see how it lines up with the pulleys. I think I know someone who used an e28 item on their 2002 and being higher output, it improved their electrics.

Anywhere i can find out this from?

I've got an M10 alternator if you need one.

I doubt it as it would have to be an m30 or m20 e34 and I think they stopped making them before 2002

.. So a e30 one will defo fit am i right? if not il have to give Retro a call as he most likely will have one.
Reck Thanks but your a bit far out mate

If anyone does need some bits of an e34 it is mot'd and taxed
This is the e34

is the 5 series with the m5x engines or does it have the old m20?

from the fuzzy pic it doesnt look that bad, how come your breaking it? they are good cars man.

Hi Tariq - I have an E30 alternator from a 325i. Mechanic needed to mod a bracket, but couldn't have been too difficult as he didn't charge me much.

Nas- Iv been told it's the old m20.. It's a mates car who has picked it up for scrap money really. But generally the car is in good condition its a shame he has to break it but even if he keeps it he wont be able to get insured on it lol i still cant get insured on my e21 Maybe next year when im 22 lol

Arshad- Thanks for the advice matey....
