Two years ago I purchased a 740IL I simply love this car! the ride it is an exception production vehicle. :) I have had several alternator issues with
my BMW I have replaced it 3 times in the last year. I had a replacement unit put in vehicle it failed after 6 months, I had original unit rebuilt by a local company it failed within a month they rebuilt of course again for free three weeks ago it failed again. I had the replacement unit I bought a year ago rebuilt and put it back in car to save time. Could there an external problem with this vehicle that would cause a repeated failure. I also have a noise in the right rear speaker, sounds like an older vehicle does when the antenna is not connected. Anyone this problem before this driving me crazy.:yikes:
