Is changing the starter on the z4m just as easy as the 3.0? anybody done it and have any advice?

thanks
Are you getting a "click" from the engine bay or just "nothing"?

If the later, I'd check for an after-market clutch stop that's out of adjustment, or a faulty clutch switch before moving on to other things. Either one of those scenarios would disable the starter.

Starter shouldn't be that much different I'd think. But no comparison or actual experience with that.
