My “writing” that no one helped? I have no clue what the hell you are talking about. Where exactly do I write “no one helped me”? All I did was tell you how to change the starter in a E70 4.8, something that doesn’t seem to be shown anywhere I looked. I see you posted a parts diagram, I didn’t see it until AFTER i had found it on the car anyway. Thanks for the attempted help...Should I come and patt everyone on the back who posted a response after a problem is solved....even if I didn’t even see it? Seems silly to me, but ok. So, thanks. But the real problem is, i was pretty sure it was located there anyway. The parts diagram doesn’t explain how to get it out. How to remove it and put in a new one is what I could not find discussed anywhere for the 4.8, just lots for the 6 cyl. Sorry if I offended you somehow.

It amazes me how people like to post things on the internet. As I said in post 14, it was the starter. The car is back running and driving. The diagnostics clearly told me it was the starter, it wasn’t a “guess”, but I’m sorry you don’t approve of me changing it. I’m done with the thread and to be clear, I won’t be back in this thread again. I posted the followup and explained how to change the starter for anyone that encounters the same issue and/or trouble codes on A 4.8 E70. It’s not the worst job, but it’s not the easiest either because of space constraints. So anyone that is doing it as a DIY, make sure you are confident you can work in small spaces and understand how it comes out. If you have specific questions, PM me. |

Really glad you got it worked out and yes, I agree, timing on what I posted (#12) and what you gathered yourself (#14) could easily have occurred where you didn't even see my mention of the starter. My "no one helped" statement was more of a paraphrase and I apologize if I took what you wrote originally out of context. On the link I posted (#18), it was the TIS for the 4.8 not the 3.0/6 Cylinder and NOT a parts diagram. It was the instructions to R&R the starter. But no issue, you mentioned you had gone ahead and started the work before you saw my reply. As mentioned before, no I don't need a pat on the back and I had no way of knowing you had sorted it out prior to my posting of the suspected cause or the actual instructions (not parts diagram). So if you want to say that I did that after the fact, oh well, I tried to help. No, I am not offended and wasn't offended. Just a bit surprised at the responses. Again, glad you got her running again!

Man this is an odd thread. Clinkinfo, I have no idea why it took the turn it did. I can tell you from a personal view, you really seemed to have the situation in hand- drilled down on battery, moved on to the next suspect. Then you can back and 'paid it forward' with a very complete discussion of the job. I thanked you. Yes, there were a few clueless posts- and others seeming to double down on those clueless posts. IMO, on the basis of your work in this thread, you are a valuable contributor. Catch you on the next thread! Last edited by ard; 10-09-2018 at 01:36 AM. |

2011 E70 35I Will Not Start
I am having a similar issue. I have not driven my vehicle for a month and now it will not start. I’ve called AAA and they couldn’t start it either. The battery is a few months old and tested good, but needed a recharge.

Some of the methods AAA (and their contractors) use to boost and rapidly charge a battery can actually damage the BMW electronics. Just an FYI
Did you properly charge your battery overnight with an AGM battery charger?? |
