it will help, but its always good to do big 3 and an alternator as well.....i think i answered ur question...maybe not
Alternator is out of my range because i asked this shop and they said 1500$ for a 180 amp alternator so after that i was quiet lol.

Btw are there any amps that require Low Power to Produce more RMS ??? Just Curious...

If you are having problems keeping one battery powered as well as running your system with your existing alternator, how are you going to keep two charged and run the system?

Give me a chance to see who we use for our alternator rebuildig services and I will post the info. Maybe they will do small car ones as well. I'm planing on doing mine as well.

What you want is your alternator REWOUND to produce a higher output. I am not familiar with BMW alts, but many alternators also have built in voltage regulators and possibly other electronics which can make them expensive to replace.

$1500.00 sounds expensive, I was quoted around $500.00 from the dealership, BUT I drive a Ford and you drive a BMW .
