Although automobiles are powered by the engine, it all starts with the electrical energy stored in a battery being applied to a starter motor to start the engine.

Running the starter and the car draws electrical current. To supply this electrical power an alternator changes the engines rotating power into electrical energy therefore replenishing electrical energy to the battery. If an alternator fails the engine will only run as long as the battery can supply power. When the battery runs out of electrical power the engine will stop running. In this tech article we will go over all the steps to change the alternator on your E39 (except the water cooled models).

In order to remove the alternator you will need to remove the cooling fan, shroud, and accessory drive belt. See our tech articles on removing these components and follow the steps from there.
