Had my starter fail on my 07 328i Cpe tonight. Im in Huntington Beach looking for a good indy mechanic who won't break the bank to install a new one. I have to tow it, so anyone with a mech. in O.C./Long Beach please let me know asap. I have heard this will run $600-1000

Thanks!

Yeah, saw that. Great price but too far away to tow it. Thanks anyway!

I'd win that lazy contest for sure. If I DIY'd it would mow lawns by the time I put it back together.

This looks like the same procedure as the oil filter housing gasket, except instead of removing the OFGH, you remove the starter once you tear out the intake manifold.

I estimate about a 3 hour job, 4 hours for first timers.

Got the Bosch starter for $155 and labor at Bullet Performance $400. Got quotes of $785 to 1100.

Thanks guys for your input.
