630i bmw 2006 convertible Alternator options

I was wondering if I can install the 185A alternator vs. 155A - would.the 185 ampersand "overload" the system?

Seems non OEM after market manufactures offer both version for this car - and for a convertible I am quite surprised the original alternator is just 155A - doesn't the CONVERTIBLE ROOF draw much amps?

 

Thanks in advance,

Steve

    Morning Steve

    Welcome to the Forum

    Quick look at realoem shows both 155A and 185A alternators were used for your car Part Number 12317521178 is the 185A was OEM

    The 155A shows as a Remanufactured replacement alternative. Realoem also states that the Aluminium Screws are use once so will need replacing part number 12310392568 set of 4 shows

    Good Luck 

    Dave
