Quick facts
- Part: Standard Ignition VR-758 voltage regulator
- Fits: the 2001-2005 BMW 325xi 6-cylinder 2.5L, the 2006 325xi 6-cylinder 3.0L and other vehicles
A failing regulator can show up as a battery warning light, dim or flickering lights, or a battery that keeps running down. Worn connectors or wiring can produce similar symptoms, so first look over the alternator plug and its wires with the engine off for corrosion, a loose fit or damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Standard Ignition VR-758 fit the 2001-2005 BMW 325xi 6-cylinder 2.5L?
Yes, the Standard Ignition VR-758 fits the 2001-2005 BMW 325xi 6-cylinder 2.5L and the 2006 325xi 6-cylinder 3.0L, one per car. For other BMWs, look in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Does the VR-758 voltage regulator include its mounting bracket?
No. Hardware is included, but the mounting bracket and instructions are not.
What connector does the Standard Ignition VR-758 use?
The Standard Ignition VR-758 has one rectangular female connector with two male blade terminals, and it is a 12 volt unit.
How can I tell if my alternator's voltage regulator is going bad?
A battery warning light, dim or flickering lights, or a battery that keeps running down can point to a charging problem with more than one possible source. A shop can test the charging system with the engine running.
Is the circuit board in this voltage regulator protected from vibration?
Yes. Its electronic PC board is encapsulated in epoxy to improve resistance to failure caused by vibration and by corrosion of the electrical connections.
