Can anyone point me in the right direction for an inexpensive unit..... Looking for used, then next option would be rebuilt.
Thx

You have to at least tell us what engine or production date of your car is, as there's 2 or 3 different alternators used in the 740i production.

Autozone Bosch rebuilt unit (http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/2000-BMW-740I/Alternator/_/N-je0xpZ9ci9i)
$400. It's a Bosch unit as well so it's not the usual crap you get from Autozone. I've had it on my car for over a year now with zero issues. Lifetime warranty also.
