320d xdrive starter motor location

ColTheWol · 04-03-2024, 09:45 AM

Hi, I need to know the part number of my starter motor for my 320d sport 2015 xdrive to order a replacement.

I removed the tray from the underside of the front expecting to see the starter but it wasn't there.

Do I need to also remove the other plate to get to it? Any risk in doing so?

Presumably it would be at the rear, where the flywheel is located, next to the gearbox?

You could try the part number thing here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/ ?

As it's x drive you'll need to remove the metal undertray too.
