Where is the starter motor on a BMW 728I?

The starter motor is located on the back side of the engine (closest to the firewall) underneath the fuel injection/intake manifold. If you are going to replace it, first disconnect the battery, then remove the main power cable (heavy wire) and the start wire (light wire). Next remove the two bolts for the intake manifold support bracket and remove bracket. Remove one bolt on starter rear support bracket and 3 bellhousing flange blots (two accessible from starter side, on accessible from bellhousing side. Good luck Malcolm
