- Alternator
Due to its high power capacity of 180 A, the alternator is cooled
by the engine's cooling system. This ensures constant and even
cooling.
The brushless alternator is supplied by Bosch, and is found in an
aluminium housing which is flanged to the engine block. The
exterior alternator walls are rinsed with engine coolant.
The function and design of the alternator are the same as that in
the M62, with only minor modifications.
The BSD interface (bit-serial data interface) for the DME control
unit is new.
