After some mild diagnosis on my Flood Salvage E46 BMW M3 I thought we were going to have several small electrical issues that would take a long time to repair. After reading a shop manual, and some support articles I traced my alternator wires and couldn’t believe what I found! The previous owner completely misdiagnosed the issue, and sold this car cheap because he couldn’t figure it out!

What's your favorite INLINE V6 car 🤣??? (Wrong Answers Only)
Inline v6?
I do like the rear led lights
Cute little car!!! 😍
When they painted the car under the hood, they pulled the engine. My guess is that's when the loose connection occurred. Body guys aren't mechanics…
If you're working on Valeo alternators and the bearing is good, just order the voltage regulator itself. You can get an OEM Valeo regulator for about $40.
V6?
Wtf us an inline v6
great build sam i have got one
That took a little luck on finding that problem.
He deserved to pay out the ass to get it fixed, smh , the damn broke guys can't find deals and get lucky but this guy does and makes out all the time, see, that's how life is, this cornball with money gets lucky and the poor guys don't, just fucked up and not fare
Your rims are on backwards
The rims in the back need to go on the front
Ps its an inline 6 not inline V6
motion sickness from camera movement ?
Dont buy raycons they suck live buds or jbl
After personally owning one of these cars my bet is all in on paper weight
bmw give alt. input voltage from cluster check if you have v in at alt.
rieger makes full kits check em out
It had flood damage and nobody checked the wiring?
It's not just about saving weight. It's about making sure weight is balanced. They have to make the front as light as possible to make up for all the heavy things in the front.
How does a bad +ve connection to a starter solenoid interfere with the charging circuit? Meh…
The people who paint the car may be they were cost of the problem
Inline V6 ???? You talk too fast lol.
Great videos though 👌
Intro music sounds like the pimp my ride tune.
Car looks like it came straight from k mart. Some kid's beat up can sprayed crap.
I went through 4…. 4! Brand new (not remand) alternators on my 07 335i from AutoZone before I got a remand from O'Reilly Auto that worked. The AutoZone alternators were manufactured in China and the O'Reilly alternator was remanufactured in Mexico. Been working great for almost a year now.
PS: I did try to get the new alternators tested before going through the trouble of installing them but AutoZone didn't have the capability of testing and alternator with a clutch on it. At least my local store didn't.
3:00 inline v6 BRUH I WANNA DIE 😂
There is a separate connection for the warning light and the main battery lead to the alternator
Just track for voltage drop from the alternator to track down the problem. Troubleshooting 101
Didn't see you using them raycons in the timelapse Sam, care to explain?
Oh interesting. I definitely would have gone for the alternator as well. Buy a new one and sell the old one online. Your friend here is the voltage meter. I had a cable connection problem that caused a misfire on a E90.
