80 Amp Alternator?
My touring has a case of dimming or flickering headlights.
So I swapped out the LKM with a re soildered spare, and still the same thing...
So I suspect the regulator, battery terminal grounds etc.
Pull the seat and the terminals are perfect and coated with terminal sealer.
Check the alternator..and It's a wimpy Bosch 80A, Huh?
I leaf through the PO's repair records and no alternator...
My specs show a 140 Amp alternator is supposed to be in this model.

I would check first the charging voltage. Maybe just the regulator is defective.
Even E32 735 were partly (as standard) delivered with 80 A alternators, depending on what was installed as additional gimmicks.
Then came 115 and only the 750 has a 140 A alternator.
Even Autohaus is offering 80 A
