N62 Starter... Looks Like Fun... Any Tips?
Well, the time has come at 133000 miles in the 4.8. I have been driving the X5 sparingly, as always, but now have to travel with the 1000A NOCO booster because the starter is just demanding too much juice. Most times the NOCO is required for a start, though admittedly, the battery in it is 4.5 years old and I have a new one ready to go in after starter replacement.
So, it looks like this is another wonderful repair experience. Are there any tips for me, besides lots of alcohol? Info is very sparse on the subject but from what I gather dropping the exhaust, lowering the subframe, and some other BMW fun might be involved... There was literally ZERO info in TIS regarding the starter replacement (excepting M54). Haven't checked the Bentley yet, will do so now. Let me have it. Tell me I'm in for a wonderful time.
