    Default Starter help

    Hi everyone,

    I have a 1992 525iSE E34 auto which is having definate starter motor problems.

    Trouble is I cannot locate it! Can someone point out where it is located and how easy it is to get to and to replace?

    As ever all help appreciated.

    Take care,

    Dougie

    It's under the intake manifold.

    You might be able to spot it below. Try this for confusion: the starter is to the left the right-most yellow sticky tab (also partially covered by a coolant hose). The solenoid is plainly visible.
