[Z4 Chaplain]

I just had the same thing happen to my 08 Z4 today, except that nothing I do makes any difference. What was your problem? I'm just about to order a new starter.

UPDATE: This happened on Wednesday and Saturday morning I was back on the road. I went to where my Z4 was and tried to start it again and heard a click! Great news, because it was the solenoid relay, meaning that it was probably just the starter. So, I bought a $73 starter on Amazon. When I found out where the starter was, I freaked out about having to remove the intake manifold. Watched a number of YouTube videos and finally felt confident enough to do it. I didn't remove the manifold from the car, but I did make enough room to remove and replace the starter. Buttoned it back up, didn't find anything extra parts or bolts hanging around, so I re-cnnected the battery, prayed, turned the key, and VOILA, it turned over and started right up! I saved a whole bunch of Benjamin's on that project!
