This is a genuine BMW exchange starter motor, part number 12 41 1 715 238. The number stamped on the part is 12411715238; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1715238. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Starter motor with mounting. BMW has since replaced it with 1735524.

It fits the E36 sedan (318i, 1992–1998), with the M40 engine — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Starter Parts 1,4kw (12_0515) and Starter Parts 1,4kw (12_0536). BMW lists the quantity used as “as required”. It weighs about 3.6 kg (7.9 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
