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

In a 1992 BMW 325i, the starter is located towards the back of the engine, almost up against the firewall. you gotta kinda stick ur head down low and look in between the back of the intake and the engine. look for the red power cable that leads u right to it.

The starter motor is at the back of the engine on the left hand side as you are looking into the engine bay. It is only accessable from underneath and you need to remove the panel under engine to gain access. I am presently struggling to remove one as it is very tight for space. They are surprisingly small for a v8 and sheilded from vision by an exhaust shield and their own shield. I believe they are only held in by two helycoil bolts, the top one of which is pretty fiddly to access as you have to do by feel! This is what I am finding unless I am going wrong! Good luck.

Trace or follow the large wire/cables from the battery. One has to go to the starter or to a realy that then goes to the starter feed post.
