Notice S55 Engine is using a Japan belt alternator
I have a 2020 M2 competition and I noticed that the alternator has a label on it made in Japan- S55
I thought all of BMWs parts were made in Germany |

Assembled in Germany doesn't mean made in Germany. All OEMs use suppliers for components that are sourced worldwide. I know because I've negotiated a few of these deals.

My brother in law does a lot work on Ferrari’s , ....when replacing water pump on one I forgot the model ...he was having a heck of a time sourcing one and it was $1600 from Ferrari . The exact same pump from GM was $199 ...exact god damn piece just with a Ferrari sticker on it !
So if your doing your own work in the future ...search the pieces manufacturer part number and chances are you will get it much cheaper then from Bmw ! |

In reading $20,000 not $200,000. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Lol

(2 engine rebuilds, failed cold start emissions $3k, split radiator at 50,000km, hoses blowing regularly, 2 x $1400 xenon headlights and on and on and on - all immediately after warranty. Not their finest moment. Mid 2000s Subarus were so bad. Pre 2000... 160k and never a problem). |
