Each h/o alternator is built specifically for certain vehicles. That connector will not work on a bmw...

What vehicle was the alternator used on?

If it was not built for bmw or alike cars then no unless you modify the connector

U should never cut factory plugs.

It sounds like u bought a used alt for a 5.3 6.0 GM motor. That would NOT work on a BMW. U need to order the correct alt for YOUR CAR.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! On that car be very careful. Did you pull the factory water cooled alternator? Truck NEEDS the factory alternator to complete the factory cooling system. That vehicle is very, very sensitive to voltage situations.
