BMW Starters

Your starter is a key part of getting your BMW up and running every time you turn the key. Without a properly functioning starter, your vehicle won’t be able to start, leaving you stranded. At BMW Parts Express, we know how important it is to maintain this component and provide genuine BMW replacements to ensure reliability and performance.

What Does a Starter Do?

The starter’s job is simple but critical: it turns the engine over and starts the vehicle. When you turn your key or press the start button, the starter engages with the engine’s flywheel to crank the engine into motion. Once the engine is running, the starter disengages, and the engine continues to operate on its own power.

Why Do Starters Break Down?

Starters break down for a variety of reasons, but one of the most common causes is wear and tear. Over time, the starter motor’s brushes, gears, or bearings may wear down due to continuous use. Excessive cranking, like trying to start a dead battery, can also cause the starter to fail prematurely. In cheaper aftermarket starters, poor-quality materials often accelerate this process.

When Should You Replace Your Starter?

If you notice slow cranking, strange noises, or no cranking at all when starting your car, it could be time to replace your starter. Genuine BMW starters offer superior reliability and are designed specifically for your model, such as the BMW 7 Series and BMW M3. In addition to replacing your starter, also check your battery to make sure it’s in good condition.

Replacing your starter with a genuine BMW part ensures your vehicle starts without issue and lasts longer than with aftermarket alternatives.
