    Thank you. Mine didn't have corrosion - but being 18 years old, was concerned, as already had done this before on an E36 BMW. I used the same 12-point 11mm wrench with 15 degree offset, that I used on the E36, both worked nicely without rounding.

    Thank you very much for sharing. Anyone doing this job should be aware. All the videos I saw did address this problem which is the most important part of the starter removal process.

    This is my exact problem, and I was thinking the same exact way of going about it. My concern was whether or not the bolt will come out of the jb welded socket after

    Good informational vid. Couldn't you have done the work from under the car to avoid removing the intake manifold?

    So my BMW starter story goes like this... My mom had an 03 e46 M3. I was driving it and the starter quit on me. I was @ a friend's house and neither of us had any of our tools on us. No way to go get our tools either. We removed all the stuff(intake, etc.) to get to the starter w/ a butter knife(yes, a butter knife). We got it off and eventually had to run up to a friend's tire shop to get a couple tools to put it back in. It was a pain. The car which was silver, from then on, was known as "Butterknife."
