Remy Starter P/N:17720
Remy 16246 starter for the 2012-2016 BMW 328i 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles spins the engine over so it can start. This remanufactured starter motor runs on 12 volts DC.
A slow crank, a single click with no crank, or a grinding sound at startup can mean the starter is worn. The battery and its cable connections can be behind the same symptoms, so a shop can test them before you replace the starter.
The 2012-2016 BMW 328i 4-cylinder 2.0L, the 2012-2018 BMW 320i 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2013-2018 BMW 320i xDrive 4-cylinder 2.0L all take this starter, and so do more BMW models. The 2012-2018 BMW 320i 4-cylinder 2.0L takes one. If your BMW is not named here, look up its years and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
