I'll third that, it's the condensor for AM noise in your radio.

On the subject of rebuilds, my 240D ate 2 "proline" pep boys reman alternators, one after a month, one after a week, before it got a reman bosch, the bosch is still on it to this day. If I had known about the voltage regulators back then, I bet that would have fixed the problem on my original alt.
