Frequently asked questions
What should I check when buying a replacement starter motor for the BMW Z3?
Match the exact engine code and transmission type (manual/automatic) of your Z3 E36, as starters differ. Check whether the solenoid and mounting hardware are included.

Yes – remanufactured starters with new brushes, solenoid contacts and bearings are tested to OEM specs and offer good value compared to new units.
