I just have to say that this IS the best video tutorial on starter replacement. Most people talk too much or they show the end result first and they try to explain how they did it which is garbage. Thank you for taking the time to explain and show how to properly do everything to replace this difficult piece, I highly appreciate it. 👍

I just replaced the starter motor on my BMW 323i thanks to your comprehensive tutorial! Keep up the great work man. I had no issues at all and the car started perfectly! Tip to others: don't drop any studs/nuts while working in the engine bay!

I used your older video last year when my starter went out; It was the best video. My car started to crank slow, until one day it just wouldn't crank at all. This isn't a "hard" DIY, just time consuming and tedious. I used the Bosch and a year later it is still holding up strong.

bro im amazed you did the job and stopping to explain and it took you under 30 minutes, last winter mine died and was close to -40 no way I was working on it, but shop took it in after a $200 tow, and they charged me 2.9 hours labor $375 and $400 for oem starter, these crooks man. good job though bro appreciate your vids. Thinking to tackle the VCG this spring with your video.

Congratulations for your channel Great tips to diagnose it, as possible OEM always for electric and electronics. Continuing with electric, you could for next videos make an EPS electric power steering replacement, I think there is no need for software. BimmerN53

Hi, can you replace the starter from the bottom of the car E90 320d N47

So you're not to worried about torqueing it back to spec? Just goodentight?

Tim , thank you for the starter diy. You did one for the X5 N52 , a few years back. You are really very thorough and go over step to step. It is very different for N55/X5 2011. ? Would appreciate if you could do diy.

Thank you, in principle it’s exactly the same, the difference would be in starter bolts you’ll need a e10 wrench to take them out (special tool) the sockets don’t really fit in there. I’ll make one as soon as opportunity arises👍

Packed tight in there as usual 😂

You can do the job without disconnecting the battery, just have to be careful that’s all, on many bmws people fry frm module when disconnecting the battery, so i’d say you better off leaving it all connected
