    Question about what alternators i can use

    So I got a bmw E36 316i with the m43b16 and it had the original valeo 80 amp alternator which broke recently, and I'm currently in the progress of building some audio system in my car and I would need a stronger alternator to have enought power to keep up with the usage, so my question is from which bmw models can I use their alternators on mine? Need to be at least 100amp but preferably stronger
    All help is appreciated
