Of course! I am also finishing my customised "M" look door mirrors with turn indicator and BMW down paddle light, so if hypothetically you say they are bad, I will send them all together 🙈

More-or-less diagnosed my (increasingly) slow turn-over at start. Battery fine, cables all good - starter motor is smoking gun... have not bothered to check starter current but I'm betting it's close the 400A that many folk have seen on failing starter motors on the M57N.
Will remove starter and rebuild it myself - don't trust the aftermarket options. Another job on the list...

Removed the starter (easy to say than to do!!) out the via bottom after removing the transmission under-shield. The alloy sub-frame reinforcing plate stays in place. It took two long extensions and two universal joints, making a tool over 1m long!! Dr Suess, I believe Andrew would say... This was inserted from behind the transfer case, over the top of it, alongside the transmission and then (via the universals) up onto the starter bolts at the top edge of the bell-housing. Fun... (censored swearing happens here) The "rebuild" of the starter was very straight forward, with no parts needed, just a damn good clean and re-grease. Couldn't exactly diagnose what caused the high current draw and slow operation - possibly a combination of old, dried grease mixed with a small amount of carbon dust from the (barely even worn) brushes and said carbon dust shorting the segments of the commutator. Anywho, once it was all cleaned down (using the only spend on this job - a $12 can of CRC non-flamable parts cleaner), greased correctly and re-assembled, bench testing showed it to perform well, so back into the car it went. (more swearing happens here) Moment of truth, holding my breath.... Wow!! This thing now spins up so fast and the engine is running almost instantly! Very pleased... esp. since the OE Bosch starter could probably last a million kms if serviced occasionally, it's so darn well made. Can't actually say if it's better than the aftermarket options but I'm betting it is...

Good work!
Did you guys happen to notice if the cable nut on the solenoid was not as tight as it should be ? or was that maybe checked/tightened done previously?
