I require assistance with my BMW E39 540i, please.
I observed that the battery indicator illuminated on my dashboard.
I examined the output voltage and discovered it was generating less than 12 volts, indicating that the vehicle was not charging and was solely reliant on the battery.
I detached the Bosch 120amp alternator and recognised that I required a new regulator and rectifier as well.
I experienced two malfunctioning diodes from the rectifier.
Could someone assist me in acquiring a new Bosch rectifier to repair my alternator?
Specifications of my Alternator and Rectifier
Alternator - Bosch 120 amp - 0 123 515 023
Rectifier - Bosch - 1 127 328 009
Any assistance is highly valued.
I appreciate it.

I attempted to utilise Google to search for an alternator (Bosch) as well as the Bosch rectifier.
The item was either unavailable or out of stock.

Locating an alternative alternator posed no difficulties.
Locating the components necessary to reconstruct my Bosch alternator posed a challenge.
