Not likely - the current for the starter isn't via F105 (or any fuse) so there's no path...

So KOEO (key on, engine off - aka KL-30) doesn't blow F105 but attempting to start it (KL-50) does? Sounds like maybe the starter solenoid is bad. Let me trace that circuit out...

P.S. This is from QSilver7...

"KL" in bimmerspeak refers to the ignition "terminal" positions. For many, the terms "run" & "accessory" still raises questions...because it doesn't plainly explain which ignition positions they are for those that don't refer to their owners manual for better clarification.

Below is some simple explanation:
  • KL 0 = OFF (ignition off position)
  • KL R = ignition position 1 ("run" - some electonics & modules are powered up)
  • KL 15 = ignition position 2 ("accessory" - all electronics & modules re powered)
  • KL 30 = ignition position 3 (where the ignition defauts after starting the engine)
  • KL 50 = ignition start position
