Replacing starter motor on 2015 328i

Skylinehead · 09-24-2017, 01:54 PM

Hi, I'm looking to replace the starter on a 2015 328i xDrive, has anyone done it before? Where is the starter located? I had been trying to find it all night yesterday but found nothing

Any information is appreciated.

Shouldn't you still be covered under warranty??

Got the Bentley book. Here are the pages on the starter. If you need anymore info let me know I can send you pics of the pages. Best of luck

Well, the starter is good as I'm able to bypass the key to make it work, so is there a relay or fuse for the starter?

How did you get this fixed. Im having the same issue. Car wont start but when i put power to the white wired plug that goes on the starter it cranks and turns on. I driven it like that with no issues. No one seems to know how to fix this

Wait, are you saying that you can start the car by hot wiring it? Do you have a F30 or older one?

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue and did the same thing by bypasssing the key. Im thinking the solenoid on the starter is bad or something but havent figured it out.
