1995 BMW 318i Starter Replacement

DIY on replacing the starter on a BMW 318I 1995. This is a pretty difficult job, the worst part is certainly removing “the squid“ and keeping track of the dozen wires that run to the motor and the air intake. This job requires a lot of patience, however there are several DIY’s that run together with this, such as cleaning out the air intake, replacing fuel injector air lines, and cleaning out several sensors. If done right, at the end of this job you’ll feel like you have a new motor if you clean the sensors that you have to remove anyways. There is a coolant hose that runs under the intake manifold that should be replaced as well.
