BMW 335i N54 Starter Replacement DIY

Today I had to swap out a starter today on an e92 335i. Normally a starter job is pretty straight forward, but on the E9X body, a curveball is thrown. I go through showing the easiest way to accomplish this. Even going over the hard to reach back bolt on the starter. This process is somewhat the same for other BMW's in this generation, the slight difference would be in the intake manifold removal, such as you might have to move the power steering fluid reservoir out the way. Below is a list of models this video will apply to ...

One note I should mention is to loosen the back bolt first. That way not all the pressure is spread to it if you remove the easy one at the bottom of the starter.

2010 E92 335i here. I wasn't so lucky; those guys at the factory torqued my bolts super duper hard. I got the lower right one out with E12 socket using brute force (just like in this video), but the back bolt I wish I had done differently. use a 3/8 curved wrench with breaker bar since the bolt is an E12 head (smaller than the E14 bolt you will use to replace it). do not use 10mm wrench because if it's torqued super hard and seized in there you will strip the head. you got one shot at this, if you strip the head you will need to cut the head off or break the starter housing near the bolt. I ended up cutting the head off with dremel flex attachment and carbide burr bits (was not fun). I did all of this without removing the manifold fully (I just removed the hose and intake; the cable clipped on in the back of the manifold I removed after the manifold was off).

@stevej4709 6 лет назад

THANK YOU for this. Seriously - I had my starter go down on my last week - I found your vid and you gave GOOD directions. Not 100% how I did it...but I had lighting issues and had some connector problems as well (little bastards don't always want to come off easily - so I removed my throttle body instead of keeping it on the intake manifold). But for the most part - your vid was VERY helpful!

Mine went at 80k, starter was an oem unit so it lasted 80k miles. The junction box was a PITA, eventually I just got so mad it gave me the strength to pull it off lmao. After that it was a breeze.

@T2VR 6 лет назад

Basically, I was about ready to punch something and just said fuck it and pulled as hard as I could and it just slipped off. So satisfying tho. Then I took a break and ate some pizza.

@BAVARIANMAGAZINE 6 лет назад

lol that junction box is a PITA yes! I used all my strength and the thing wasnt moving, I was bending the metal bracket it was on so I grabbed a dremel and ground the tabs off and then it came off easily! ;)

@Gutsmagoria 3 года назад

My starter's last start was right before I drove 3h away. Wish I could have known. Anyway here I am in my mom's driveway tearing into this thing. I found that if you use a breaker bar you can pull up on an E-torx socket from behind the rear turbo intake pipe. It's important that it's a bar, 12-15" long, because they afford you a few degrees under 90 socket to handle. That was the only way I could do the job, because although I could buy e-torx sockets at the parts shop, no luck with any wrenches! Anyway, any recommendations where to get some of those wrenches? All I find online are these Gearwrench brand with bad reviews.

@flubbernuget 4 года назад

Thanks friend for doing this video. I'm thinking about buying a 335i or xi and before I do I wanted to know how difficult it is to replace the starter, water pump, and power steering pump. If I can't maintain it myself then I won't buy one. Thanks again.

@nOshi2x 4 года назад

No prob hope it was off some help. I would lean more to the 335i, the xi can lengthen maintenance times by a lot for anything that needs to be accessed underneath the car, such as the oil pan gasket or even replacing the turbos. The starter, water pump, and power steering pump on a scale of 1 to 5, is lump them around a 3. I would definitely recommend you have extensions and a wobble socket, since most of these jobs are straightforward but the bolts are in odd angles and orientation. Such as one of the starter bolts in this video. All in all the biggest job you would have to do to fix leaks etc, would be the oil pan gasket and just for that I’d recommend going with a 335i. If your doing the work yourself it’s a whole lot less headaches.

@Mike-tf7wb 2 года назад

Just as a good protocol, i suggest new throttle body and intake manifold gaskets. You have the parts off, and the cost compared to time and money later is low.

@nOshi2x 2 года назад

Yea might as well, mainly the intake manifold gasket. Thanks for the addition!

@nOshi2x 2 года назад

If up top is not working out, use some extensions and a wobble socket to get at the bolt from under the car going up through the driver side of the transmission. In either case top or bottom make sure the socket is secure on the bolt and carefully about stripping the bolt.

@carbonptcamaro4052 Год назад

i have a huge problem (i guess) i got a bmw 335i n54 2007 automatic gear box And 1 week ago i had fuel issue, because i did a modification on my fuel tank pump, on the climbing road (fuel pump sucking more air instead of gasoline) That night i insisted even so running my engine like 10 times, i insisted with the starter till it stopped(my fault) Trying to run the engine i could hear a noise like ''dling''or'' tling'' coming from the engine compartment (that moment starter won't kick anymore) i replaced the starter by a new complete one and also replaced the battery by a new one i still hear the ''tling or dling'' and engine still won't start What could it be?

@neinscheisse9535 5 лет назад

may not want to disconnect the battery though cuz then you would have to do a reset with a special scan tool, not a code reader, otherwise your battery will die over night and most likely take out your footwell module which controls the lights and turn signals etc. i would recommend disconnecting the cable at the jump start terminal that way it no power to starter but still to the rest of the system. had my module go out like that and apparently it's very common with dead batteries or disconnects. thanks for the vid though.

@techmech2030 Год назад

When you open that fucking star-headed bolt in the back. Put it back in with the opposite side so next time it’a easier to remove.

@thatguyandy2573 5 лет назад

What type of tool worked best to remove the starter bolts ?

@nOshi2x 5 лет назад

swivel ratchet and a stubby e torx socket or even a ratcheting wrench

@kassiegraves700 3 года назад

can’t figure out a way to reach in to the long back starter bolt. regular ratcheting wrench stripped the bolt. i have the etorx but can’t fit a ratchet or anything in there. ideas?

@nOshi2x 3 года назад

Since you have the etorx. Your best bet would be to use some extensions and a wobble on it from under the car. So jack the car up and put it on jack stand and from between the driver side of the transmission feed the extension up and have someone up top guide it onto the bolt. You will then be able to loosen it.

@mikrowave1985 2 года назад

This job was fairly easy contrast to working on my VQ long block in my Infiniti. Truth be told the thing that defeated me for 3 days - while ordering E Sockets and Wrenches - was that stupid black plastic thing that you showed at 9:18. Like WTF is BMW's problem yo! 😂😂 Out of all plastic pieces they couldn't be more efficient like the Japanese? Clearly "all that thick plastic isn't needed" as they could have been more efficient. Smh. I am trying so hard not to jack the car up and to go above the FW. 😄😄

@TheBMWgarage 3 года назад

That sounds like a charge pipe leak, not enough boost. Old gaskets leaking or something not tightened. That sucks. :-(

@nOshi2x 3 года назад

Yea definitely sounds like a boost leak of sorts, just have to go over everything again. It’s usually the vacuum line that goes into the throttle body that gets forgotten, but upon start up it will generally set off a code. Easiest way to know is to scan the car with a bmw specific scanner and it will put you on the path to check for a boost | vacuum leak or possibly a misfire.
