I can assure you that wasting you hard earned on a BMW is a sure fire way to the world of breakdowns and recalls - I speak from experience!!

Not that it helps you, but I pulled my reg/rec connector apart on day 1, covered in in ACF 50 and a poly bag and it's absolutely fine after 5k miles and plenty of mud and sh1te..

A new connector should do the trick as long as there's no reg/rec or wiring damage..

Good Luck..
