All you do to the starter is put it in second gear, handbrake off and push or pull the car until the engine turns over a few times. That should free the starter. Its gone out of sync with the flywheel.
PS make sure the ignition is OFF.

After going through all your car videos, I finally caught up with you, and I can watch you real-time now. It seems like you are the Kyle Busch of car rebuild/flip channels, some guys like to talk crap about you or question your moves, but you are certainly one of the best on your field. Keep it up, I love your content. Greetings from Hungary!

Sometimes you can tap those starters if you can get through there and it will start BMWs are notorious for that

[dominiquejeschke]

You can change the starter without taking the intake out. I did it once, no problem.

Love those German cars. So easy to repair said every BMW mechanic never.

First of all Batteries can go too flat so that you cannot jump start them. So replace the battery. Get one at Battery Mart for like 45 bucks. Also hit the starter with a hammer not really hard but some pretty good bumps. Have someone start bumping it with a hammer while you try to start it. The battery is probably so dead it cant be jump started.

Get a length of wood Randy, one end on the starter and at the other end tap it with a club hammer it should free off it sounds like the starter has jammed. Hope this helps 👍🏻 Looking forward to the crazy new paint... I wonder if u were inspired by the Packard hearse the other day!!!

[tenmillionvolts]

Randy, you could maybe get that great local mechanic that you used a few times before. You and he worked on one of your trucks in your driveway. You could do it together so you could both curse it at once but get her done 😊

Randy, check your ENGINE GROUND STRAP! Had the same problem, thought it was the starter. Changed out my starter, two weeks later boom same thing. Changed half the vehicle, was the damn ground strap. Check to see if its green and / or frayed, swap it out! I grabbed mine and it literally fell off. Put a new one on mine never had another problem.

BMW original color of... "Sakhir Orange" 😉 yeah that would be perfect! Beautiful, Wild, & bit different, but still a factory color...

[montyholland]

Randy painting it with the Rust-Oleum Turbo black paint. Seriously you could prime and paint it for under 150 all in and you'll like it better than maaco??? macco???

[frankm]

I figured you would paint with original color. Nothing is worse then looking at a vehicle then realize under the hood and door jams are different color😷 Love ur vids Randy 👍

[andrewallen]

first time I ever heard a youtuber say hope all you guys are bored. lol

[chorton]

Brilliant design, BMW! You have to partially dissemble the car to replace the starter, a part that normally has to be replaced, along with the alternator and fuel pump. Brilliant!

Im a BMW guy and work on a ton of E46’s and own many. The exhaust only has 8 studs/nuts per bank. Check a set of OEM gaskets and you’ll see where you should have studs and where you shouldn’t. It looks like the person who installed the headers used the garbage gaskets that come with those cheap header kits. You really need OEM style gaskets to prevent leaks. I bought Fel-pro from my local advance for $33 for both by using the code “coupon25” for 25% off (buy online, pick up in store).

Great video Randy I know that the Bmw is not running right now but when it does it going to sound like a beast

[WarpDriveM]

I just done exactly the same job today. But I've installed original kats and complete exhaust. Before that the car was way too loud for Germany!

[rolandschmitt]

I got 2 front seats in black and door panel too

[aaronturner]

Too bad he doesn't have an air hammer that would pop the starter loose. Personally I'd try a block of wood or pipe and a sledge.

I see his point on the outsourcing of the job. He is making content for the channel....he needs all the hours he can get. Plus if he can get a mobile mechanic like he did for the F150, then he don't have to tow the car in.

Still hate this car and can't wait until its sold/traded/blown up.
