Diagnosis and Common Symptoms
A failing starter motor on the N46-equipped E90 and E87 chassis typically presents as a single dull click when turning the key or pressing the Start button, with no crank follow-through. In more advanced wear, you may notice intermittent no-start conditions that resolve themselves after several attempts, a whirring/grinding noise as the pinion gear struggles to engage the flywheel, or a slow, labored crank that sounds different from a weak battery drain. On the instrument cluster, drivers sometimes see a "Drivetrain Malfunction" or "Starter Fault" warning, though DME fault codes such as 002778 (Starter relay/circuit fault) or intermittent communication errors from the DME to the starter relay are commonly logged in this scenario. Because the N46 starter sits low near the transmission bell housing, oil leaks (from the oil filter housing gasket or valve cover) can also accelerate solenoid and brush degradation, so it is worth ruling out contamination before condemning the unit itself.
Introduction
This is a Genuine Used BMW starter motor, part number 0001107428, pulled directly from an E90 or E87 chassis equipped with the N46 engine. Every unit in our inventory is bench-Tested for proper solenoid engagement, free spin, and current draw before listing, so you are getting a confirmed-working part rather than a guess. Sourcing a Genuine Used starter is a cost-effective way to resolve no-start or slow-crank issues without paying new-part pricing for a component with a long proven service life. Ideal for owners who want factory-correct fitment and electrical characteristics without the premium of a brand-new unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the early warning signs of a failing N46 starter motor before it fails completely?
The most common early signs are a single audible click with no crank, intermittent no-start conditions that clear up after multiple attempts, or a grinding noise when the starter engages the flywheel. These symptoms typically worsen over days or weeks rather than failing instantly.
Does this starter fit both the E90 and E87 chassis, or is it engine-specific?
Part number 0001107428 is specific to vehicles fitted with the N46 engine, and this starter fits both the E90 and E87 chassis when equipped with that engine. Always cross-check the part number stamped on your existing starter housing against 0001107428 before ordering to confirm an exact match.
Does installing a used starter motor on the N46 require any coding or DME adaptation?
No. The starter motor is a mechanical/electrical component with no software adaptation tied to it, so there is no coding, programming, or DME reset required after installation on the N46.
How long does a genuine used starter motor typically last, and is it a reliable choice in Malaysia?
BMW starter motors are built for high durability, and a tested used unit can commonly deliver several more years of service, especially compared to unverified aftermarket alternatives. In Malaysia's climate, where humidity can accelerate corrosion on cheaper components, a genuine used part with proven metallurgy and factory tolerances is often a more reliable choice.
Are there any installation gotchas specific to the N46 starter motor?
Access is tight due to the starter's position near the transmission bell housing, so we recommend checking for oil contamination from the oil filter housing or valve cover gasket before installation, as leaking oil can shorten the lifespan of even a good starter. Torque the mounting bolts to BMW specification to avoid vibration-induced looseness.
