I had a low battery issue on my 2009 BMW 328i about 3 months after I had it serviced for a battery cable recall at motorwerks BMW dealer in bloomington, mn. Motorwerks diagnosed that the alternator was not working properly and needed to be replaced. I had tires plus replaced the alternator and battery for half the price compared to motorwerks. Unfortunately, the aftermarket alternator that tires plus installed caused my car to over heat because it was over charging. I eventually took my car back to motorwerks to replace the alternator and battery. I emailed the service consultant if it was normal for the original alternator to malfunction so quickly on a 2009 BMW 328i. I also informed him that I had my car serviced at motorwerks for a battery cable recall in March 2013 and asked him if it was possible that the original alternator issue was related with fixing the battery cable. He strangely has not answered my question which makes me wonder if they are not taking responsibility for the original bad alternator if it was related to the battery cable recall service. I'm also wondering if other 2009 3 series BMW owners had a low battery issue due to a bad alternator after having their cars serviced for the battery cable recall in March 2013. If the original alternator issue is found to be related while servicing the battery cable recall then I would like to get a full refund for their service on my new alternator and battery. Thank for taking the time to investigate my car issue.
