CLS70 is on a distinguished road
Starter....

So..came back from work on Friday and the X5 did not start.....lights/everything worked but pressing the Start Button did nothing; I could hear the lock on the Shifter, the pump working and all the other sounds.

Tried to jump start using 2 different sources, my other car and then when called a tow/truck service....nothing. Battery voltage checked ok so it everything points to the starter....

Had to tow the car back home; called the dealer and they quoted -over the phone and with all sort of caveats- that will be roughly $1,500 CAD (~$1,100 USD) to replace the Starter (Parts & Labour).......!!!

How bad is a DIY replacement? have seen some videos over internet and seems not complex but a PITA.........parts seems only around $350 CAD...

Thoughts?
