There's a starter relay (in addition to the solenoid on the starter, two different things) mounted in the engine computer box in the engine bay. If it sticks closed, starter would probably do this. It's a gray-green relay (standard BMW size).

If the starter is running, but the engine is not cranking, sound like a starter solenoid bendix problem.

The OP said he had the starter tested. I think the Solenoid should be ok if the test was done right.
Of course, if you put the battery cable to the solenoid connection it will run all the time. Guess checking the cable connections would be first on my list

I see that now. Its a little open to interpretation as to what happened with the second one.
OP - please clarify - did you have the second starter tested and it was ok on the bench and then ran all the time on the car? Or it was ok under test and on the car?

(I didn't test it before I fitted it) The 2nd Starter tested Good on the Bench (I screwed up on Positioning of the main power cable) Hope that make sense
