I just changed the Bosch alternator in my E39 for under voltage. I removed the regulator and the brushes were worn down @132k miles. After inspecting the slip rings, one of them had a pretty deep groove in it so bought a complete alternator instead of rebuilding the old one. If the slip rings looked good I probably would have just replaced the regulator/brush assembly. I'll rebuild the old alternator with new slip rings, bearing and regulator since I hate to just throw it out.
