I take you through diagnosing a bad starter on really any car, but specifically this model of BMW, share some tips for doing the testing if you are by yourself, and of course show how to get to the starter to remove and replace it.

Everybody loses their mind when talking about working in BMW's, but my E90 335d is one of the easiest vehicles to work on I've ever owned, and that's coming from an LS guy. lol
Love the hair . Lol great job. You rock girl
what's up Bogi? Hope all is well! glad to see you posting videos again!
Yes, I'm super awesome and want to support your videos. (ha ha) Plus I like learning things.
I think that it would be a good idea to actually bench test the new starter before installation. A lot of work to do it all over again if the new starter is bad for some reason.
Have you ever worked on a Ecoboost before ?
Damn, I wish the cowl on my E36 'vert came out that easy! Pulling wipers is a PITA!!
If you have to "remove a ton of stuff to make your life easier", is it really making your life easier? Not a fan of BMWs. Seems like they're waaay over engineered. At least the starter isn't buried under the intake like the Cadillac Northstar. Very informative and well presented. Thanks for sharing.
bogi thank u for always bringing good content and thanks for inspiring ladies always
So glad you are giving your BMW the love it deserves!ā¤
Hi Bogi! I watched for reason number three. Not because Iām awesome but because you are!!! Great video
Great video Bogi! Very detailed! I watched the working from home episode, a couple weeks back and until today it was in the back of my mind, what happened with it? And now I know. I'm not a BMW guy, but i did want to see what what was involved in replacing the starter. I know now I will never attempt it, I'll stick to my Toyota. If it's not a conflict of interest, you really should do more videos like this. I really enjoyed it. Great camera work, a natural in front of it, professional and yet laid back. Thanks Bogi!
Did the car have more and more trouble starting?
BMW!!! You are awesome Bogi!
Glad to be able to see you doing what you are so good at. You explain any project clearly and concise. Keep doing what you do!
i know how it goes diagnosing electrical by yourself, ive proped up my dvom in the windshield so i can see 12 or 5 volts
How many miles are on the car?
