That's why I went with AA's pulley. I felt that they were the safest bet at the time being. I've heard that Dinan is coming out with one also, but I felt that AA is already on target with their current updated version for my specific M3.

Slowing down the alternator means you reduce its power output capability at any given engine RPM. If you load up on electrical accessories, you may run into a problem where the electrical charging system cannot keep up with your load.
Thank you for the very informative info.

I don't think I'll have to worry too much since I got a 'stripped' M3 with barely any electrical options on it. I only have a simple rada dector on top of that.
