All electrical energy used by your BMW X5 is produced by burning fuel which runs the engine. The BMW X5 alternator generates electricity when the engine is running by converting this mechanical energy into usable electric current. Electrical energy not immediately used for system components is stored in the battery, allowing you to start the car in the morning or leave the headlights on when the engine is not running.

The BMW X5 alternator can produce twice as much electric energy as an old-time generator. When the red light on your dashboard comes on to indicate the BMW X5 alternator is not charging, it's usually due to an easily replaced worn or broken fan belt.

In the event the alternator itself is defective or damaged, there is usually enough electric energy stored in the battery to get your BMW X5 home(assuming you're not having to uses the headlights). Although the BMW X5 is a product of the finest German craftsmanship, like any mechanical device, certain components will eventually wear out.
