Product Title
BMW G30 G20 320i 330e 520i 530e B48 12V Starter 8658988 - Used Original Part
Diagnosis and Common Symptoms
On the B48 platform, starter failure often presents as an intermittent "No-Crank" condition. You may experience a single metallic click when pressing the Start/Stop button, or a "Starter Malfunction" warning on the iDrive display. Common fault codes associated with this unit include 801201 (Starter motor: short circuit to ground) or various DME/CAS codes related to starter relay activation. In G20 and G30 models, heat soak can occasionally cause the internal solenoid to bind, leading to slow cranking speeds even with a fully charged battery.
Introduction
This is a Genuine Used 12V Starter Motor specifically pulled from a low-mileage B48 engine donor vehicle. Every unit undergoes a rigorous bench test and a load-bearing engagement test to ensure the solenoid and motor brushes perform to factory specifications. Choosing a Genuine used part over an aftermarket alternative ensures proper electrical communication with the vehicle's FEM/BDC modules and prevents potential interference with the Auto Start/Stop system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What symptoms indicate failure? A: The most common signs are a "no-crank" situation, a loud clicking noise from the engine bay, or a slow engine turnover that persists after replacing or charging the battery.
Q: Does this require coding? A: No, this is a "plug-and-play" mechanical and electrical component. However, it is standard practice to use a diagnostic tool to clear any stored "Starter Malfunction" or "Signal Start Request" fault codes from the DME/CAS memory after installation.
Q: Is this original? A: Yes, this is a Genuine BMW factory part. We do not stock aftermarket or third-party replicas, as they often lack the durability required for the B48’s high-frequency Start/Stop cycles.
