About this part
The starter motor on your 5 Series E12 cranks the engine to start the combustion cycle. Clicking without cranking, intermittent starting or complete failure means the starter needs replacing.
Frequently asked questions
What should I check when buying a replacement starter motor for the BMW 5 Series?
Match the exact engine code and transmission type (manual/automatic) of your 5 Series E12, as starters differ. Check whether the solenoid and mounting hardware are included.
Is a remanufactured starter motor reliable?
Yes – remanufactured starters with new brushes, solenoid contacts and bearings are tested to OEM specs and offer good value compared to new units.
