17922 New Starter Motor Replacement for 2006-2016 BMW 128i 328i 528i xdrive 328xi 325i 325xi 330i 330xi 335i 525i 528xi 530i 530xi 535i X1 X3 X5 X6 Z4 3.0 2.5 2.0 L6 Engine OE#: 12417521116

The media could not be loaded.  Everything went smooth, I’d only recommend they include starter bolts because taking the old starter out was a little difficult because i had to grind one of the starter bolts down but other than that it’s good quality and has not given me any issues, well worth the money!

The new starter we'll excellent and worked superbly. Perfect fit for my 2006 bmw 325i.

If you’re worried about an “Amazon starter”, don’t worry.. even though it’s cheap it worked great for my 07 335i N54. Inside the box also includes a card that says the starter has a 2 year warranty.. meaning if there are any issues with it then they will replace it FREE.This beats paying $250 for a starter.Make sure you get replacement bolts. Use a swivel head ratchet to get that annoying back bolt.

I never even installed this thing once I took it out of the box. Set it next to my faulty (OEM- Bosch) starter and it was so much lighter and crappier, I couldn’t even install it on the vehicle. The starter is hard enough to get to… I don’t want to do this project again. This thing feels like it would maybe start the car a handful of times before it snaps in half. Even if I was selling the vehicle in 3 days, I’d still be afraid to install this thing, lol. The OEM Bosch part lasted 16 years and 220k miles so decided to replace with the same.

Not great. Hard install. Didn’t work
