Have done this 6 times now. I'm only 50/50 on reliability. I had one alternator fail. Had to replace it in an AutoZone parking lot, Limped home another alternator with bad bearings, and had a thermostat stick open on another. All just on the trip back. For non car folks that would be terrible.
agreed in terms of being disastrous to non-car people, but to me something like an alternator failing in some way shape or form has nothing to do with BMW. That's something at risk for any car with any decent amount of mileage on it.
