Starter motor brands for E34 upgrade

Post by Mark Shutt »

Hi all, show season is not far away and I have a couple of small jobs to do on my E24 preferably before it goes back on the road, one of them is the "clicky" starter motor! I stripped this down and cleaned it etc last year but this hasn't really helped so want to change it for a new/manufactured unit but from an E34 to make it a little easier to fit! now looking on eBay I see them ranging from £63 to over £200 for Bosch units, I don't want to fit a random unbranded item but looking at Hella (£107) and Quinton Hazell (£85) they used to be decent manufactures back in the day. has anybody tried any of these and can comment?
