Again, this is something I have already restored before starting YT. So I bought this one from eBay for the channel. It was the worst one I could find as I like a challenge.

PROCESS:
Firstly I dismantled the starter completely. I then sent most of the parts to the very handy parts washer which removed all dirt, grease or oil. I then made sure they were completely dry before taking them to the blasting cabinet for blasting. As for the internal parts, I cleaned them by hand with contact cleaner. I then prepared the outer parts for painting by degreasing and masking. Once hanging in the paint room, I hit them with two light coats of etching primer, two coats of high-build primer and sanded that back with 400 and 800g sandpaper. I then applied two coats of base coat before two coats of lacquer.
Whilst that was drying I set about polishing the solenoid 'thing' and all the other small internal pieces. This was in preparation for the electroplating that came next. Whilst I waited for paint and passivate to dry I made a start on the motor brushes. They were all quite worn and uneven. I bought four brushes that were as close to what I needed but a little bit bigger. I could then resize them to the perfect size. I had trouble finding the correct sized brushes.
I removed the old brushes with heat and pulling power, die grinder the old spot well off and solder on the new brushes ensuring the solder was super solid before continuing. Controversial I know. But I do not have a spot welder. I then opened my starter motor repair kit, found the pieces I could swap out and it was time to reassemble.
Once back together I attached the positive end of a car battery to the continuous live on the stater and the negative to the metal body. I then joined the live 12v to the ignition terminal and the starter both span the motor and moved the solenoid forward. Restoration complete.

That little half-second pause when the brushes fell off the commutator during install was poetic.
Haha, i cut it just before i go crazy :D
i Hate to admit but i LOLd, Great video btw.
@@RestoreIt while you were inserting it i was yelling "hold it from the axle HOLD IT FROM THE AXLE THE MAGNET WILL PU*pop*" -_-
Once I dismantled my Fiat Tipo's starter motor to clean it and make it work properly again, it was a nightmare to put it back, but yours starter motor is even more complicated! I felt your pain XD
It was hours of faffing, no exaggeration haha.
Pesterenan
But was it worth it? What's the result?
@@anderssvart3257 it was worth it. I learned how to clean it and make it work properly again, so now, I can make my own car's maintenance.
If I was running BMW, I would sponsor the series. Love each episode. Very relaxing and entertaining to watch! I would even watch you restoring a screw.
Dude, I cannot wait to see this car go together. It will be better than it left the factory. Well done lad.
Me either thanks George!
I came to the comment section, to say the same thing!
Further on ur videos can u add also the time what it takes for the project
@@RestoreIt me either !! should be be best on planet , love the E30 sadly out my price range now , i got the E36 though before they sky rocket as i think they will too .
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes it will be like that
Wow! Steve!! I am so impressed! I used to restore classic Mustangs and had to replace many starters, but I never considered rebuilding them myself. You make something intimidating look easy. I like how you used a socket to make the brushes open for the armature. This was really impressive. Thanks for showing us how to do this. I like all the new tools and gadgets you have. Take care, my friend
Thank you as always Gary! Oh cool! i didn't know that about you. And thanks Gary, admittedly, i was fiddling with that thing for a good hour. Editing works magic. Email coming back to you soon!
Nicely done.
A few comments.
Put some grease in the black cap held in with 2 screws on the motor case, that will keep the bronze bearing lubed and hopefully most of the water out.
Try some aluminium tape for masking off for bead blasting.
The pause after the brush block pushed out was classic, silence can say a lot.
Loved your use of the strainer to hold parts in the bead blaster and the socket as a spacer on the brush block.
Have you thought about doing a video or 2 on the care and feeding of spray guns and how to set them up to spray correctly? You know what the various bleed screws do and how to avoid runs etc.
Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy new year.
Cheers.
Thank you dhc, love this comment. Thanks for the advice. The aluminium tape idea is great. And i actually have some. Wish i used it now. The brushes were frustrating to say the least haha. And good idea on the spray gun how to. You can expect to see this in the near future.
I couldnt see the rest of your comment. Had a great one thanks, a happy new year to you to dhc. Thanks man.
Good suggestions.
Great comment and reply.👍
A little grease on the treads will help it dissasemble next time . Everyone "dry" builds things which is annoying !
Planetary gears AND a freshly cleaned starter rotor in one video? This must be my Christmas present! Thanks mate!
Renovating parts on a BMW car is good fun and it gives me the greatest sense. A refreshing video, a sensing, a presentation, a perfect craft, a manual skill, a sense of detail, is a joy to watch, thanks for all, young men.
Thank you Rasam, it is a pleasure making videos for people like you.
The zinc plating is a very nice touch - looks great!
Thank you Brian!
All other videos can wait! Watching this one first.
Thank you Billy! This comment is epic.
@@RestoreIt The complete truth though, had opened 4 different videos, opened twitter, saw your tweet, closed all the other videos and went straight onto yours .
loool I did the exact same thing.
Great work as always. Doing this also means you learn how every single bit of the car works. I didn't know the starter engages and disengages automatically like that.
Great video, I had an E30 325i sport 87 on an E plate, bought it when it was four years old and drove it for another 12 years loved that car and wish I had kept it. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
These videos are SO relaxing and satisfying to watch.
In this channel I have seen some many BMW parts get restored that I am waiting the day I will see the damn car completed XD
Haha! I'm sorry Diego, you're going to have to wait some time longer. Im going as fast as i can :D
@@RestoreIt take your time, I'm sure it'll make an awesome playlist when you're finished!
Well, the part I am more interested is in the paint job for the car, I will stay online for it! ^_^
I had the same thought, but then I saw your comment so I just liked ;)
I’m so excited to see the whole car finished Someday!! Its gonna be beautiful!!
Now that is TRULY refurbished! Outstanding job!!! Just subscribed, keep on restoring.
Thanks Frank! There is loads more to come, i'm just getting started :D
So satisfying to see these things come back to life, great stuff!
I love the care you put in to your restorations
Thank you SquaredSmith!
I just switched out my starter motor on my 2014 Accord, and I need my old starter motor repair/fixed/restored for future replacement. I liked the step-by-step restoration process and how you showed us how it works at the end. Great video.
Wonderful work worth watching continued to offer these sections especially BMW
Thank you, loads more to come :)
I love your videos. Your attention to detail is incredibly satisfying. I am so OCD and you try to make things as perfect as possible, while saving as much as possible from the original assemblies.
Thank you Jorge, i think i 'suffer' from a minor case of OCD.
@@RestoreIt Minor?😂
Thank you for testing the starter aswell as restoring it, the entire video i was debating whether or not you would. Good video, great resto
Thank you Gage. I had to didn't i! :D i've leanred my lesson from the past.
¡Estupendo, absolutamente fantástico...! Saludos desde Honduras.
Fabulous Videos, I am rebuilding an E34 very similar in many ways, I am not so clued up on all aspects of the rebuild but your videos are not only instructive but inspirational
Looking forward to seeing the car when it is finished. Great work !!
Amazing work as usual, keep the E30 videos coming!!!
Cheers Aidan! Loads more to come :)
Loved to see finished e30👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
love your videos, I'm so excited to see the finished BMW when you get it all restored...please take your time though, we really enjoy every step of the way!
It’s a tiny thing but I love the way you trim the tape after masking. Always noticed it in your videos. Attention to detail and precision. Very worthy personal characteristics. Great work as always
Coming from me, a guy who rebuilds starters and alternators for a living, well done. couple things I will point out is that you should of removed the paint from around where the negative brushes touch the back plate. you do want to make sure the negatives had a good ground with the front housing of the starter. the whole back plate assembly along with armature and brush holder could have been assembled before putting the armature into the starter body. This goes for all bosch made starters. I did have a good chuckle when I saw the armature shoot into the body lol. all in all very well done keep up the great videos!
Thank you Joshua, nice to hear this from a professional. Thanks for the advice, i'll be going back inside to sort a few things out. This will be one of them.
Josh. I have an bosch starter in my vw and if im not mistaken it's the very same starter. The problem with it is that the bendix doesn't seem to back up from the fly wheel quick enough so it oftem makes this howling noise... is this something i can fix just by cleaning it? I've heard that in atleast 70% of the cases "bad starter motor" is actually just a dirty one that needs some cleaning in order to work properly. Those bosch ones especially, they are well build starters.
Mercer Frey what happens with a Volkswagen Bosch starter is the the bendix gear is a shaft that drives through a bushing on the front housing of the starter. A lot of the time this is caused by the bushing drying out of its self lubricants. Greasing up the Bendix shaft should fix your issue. If you activate the starter solenoid without activating the motor you can grease the shaft easily. Hopefully this fixes your issue. The starter will make a howling noise after engaging the flywheel. This is why.
Thank you for your reply! I really hope i'm not too late for the sake of my flywheel.
What type of grease do you recommend? White lithium grease is ok? Or multi duty hi-temp grease is better? Also soaking planetary gears in diesel would be ok? Thanks
Very well done once again, Keep working on that E30, it will be just great when done.
Thanks Alek. Appreciate the comment, there's no stopping now.
With the new Partswasher and the Polishing Wheel you really upped your game! Im really excited about your future Videos with that level of Care you put into your work!
Thank you Tertamsta, i hope with more tools and equipment will come more frequent high quaility videos :) thank you!
Simply perfect... Loved the tidy and well organised work you done..! and thanks! I followed this video to restore my Starter mortar.. Loved it!
Great rebuild!
The brushes were mechanically fastened because starter motors can get hot enough to melt the copper [and solder].
This [obviously] does not happen unless the starter motor is run continuously under load for an extended period of time >30sec. Worked at a rotating electrical re-manufacturer and have seen it more times than I can remember.
Cheers for the info man. I will keep this in mind and see how i get on.
Best channel with this content on YT 😎
Thanks man! Lots more to come.
Man here’s to you for some of the most calming and beautiful videos on CZcams
You're making my projects much easier. Thank you!
My pleasure Craig!
Nice job! Please do an engine restoration!! You would be a god!
Thank you! That is defo coming!
@@RestoreIt Oh god yes, please restore that beautiful old M20. :-)
Restore It I really want to see the engine restoration
For the grinder, bolt it to a base that has a lip to overhang the bench. It won't move much then, as you're always pushing on a grinder, never pulling. You could even make a notch in the bench to stop side-to-side. The setup remains portable.
Great idea man thank you for this.
Thanks from me as well. Was wondering how to avoid losing bench space.
You're welcome. A piece of that "non-slip" rubber mesh really helps too.
Unbelievable. Master-level work. Truly in awe of your skill and craftsmanship. That's one lucky e30. *hat's off, sir.
You make fantastic content! I also like the way you work in the adverts. It's non-intrusive, yet visible, if I'm in the market for such things. Well done.
Awesome video as always. The 39 dislikes are people who can't appreciate the hardwork and craftsmanship of restoration.
Thank you Matthew! Much appreciated.
They are dealers 😂
I applaud the effort you put into disassembling, cleaning and painting the E30 components featured in these videos but find it altogether abhorrent you characterize what you're doing as restoration. I suspect those that "disliked" the video share a similar sentiment. With the level of incorrect finishes showcased, crude disassembly, incorrect reassembly of components, and general lack of attention to details that go into an accurate restoration... i find myself annoyed by the use of the word. Keep honing your skills and improving your techniques, the work you're doing is perfectly admirable under a different descriptor.
Oh, and please stop painting aluminum silver.
Or maybe they do appreciate how hard it is, and would buy a rebuilt original starter rather than waste all that time.
It’s your choice- some people are time rich and $$ poor.
39 SMART PEOPLE THAT DONT DRIVE BMW
never clicked so fast , love your work and attention to detail , happy christmas and a prosperous new year . terry in ireland .
Cheers Terry! Much appreciated. Same back to you my good man.
You proved one thing if not a million; no we don't have to be a throwaway society! One ?...how the hell do you remember which part goes on when...wow! My latest hero bro!
Z wielką przyjemnością oczekuje na każde powiadomienie o nowym filmie. Lubię oglądać Twoje rekonstrukcję nie mogę się doczekać finału i obejrzenia odnowionej BMW pozdrawiam Staszek 😊
E30 gang!
Hell yeah!
Welcome To The Madness hello there
Un vídeo perfecto 👏👏
Well done, as always!
Thanks as always Benjamin!
I love your restorations... I can't wait to see the car finished...
Yesterday I disassembled my opel vectra 2000 x20xev starter, which is almost the same(bosch again) to restore it and i searched through your videos for video like this... and you upload it just right on time. What a coincidence. I've been following your channel for the last few months. Thanks for the great content and keep with the good work. Best wishes from Bulgaria... oh and I'm still unable to unscrew the solenoid... damn thing
Haha what a coincidence! Keep going at it I'm sure you'll get there man. Thanks for watching and im glad you enjoyed.
beautiful work as always from France
Thank you Ivan!
Well done!👍
Thank you Oskar!
Very well done there! Great your videos, and no need for distracting music. Remember doing my Magneti Morelli starter restoration on M42. Put time into it and did almost everything as you did, except filming, zinc coating and painting the necessary parts. I wish I could have blasting case and the painting tools and skills you have. Yet the starter motor running strong as from the factory and smoothly, probably also better in a long term than those new age ones.
Thanks for the blaster cam! Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks man! Blast cam is great, but will get better with a new blaster :)
Cracking job. Paint was ace
Thank you Richard. I was especially happy with this one. Its freezing outside so I'm working against the odds. Even more satisfying when it comes out like it did.
Great job! Done properly.
Thank you Steven.
watching your videos has inspired me to also start restoring seperate parts on my E30. keep up the good work!
This is so good to hear thanks JSmooths i wil.
Thank you for your awesome work and to not add music! amazing! I am doing basic cleaning and changin brushes for my Citroen Xsara HDI 2.0 90cv and the starter of this video is like mine!
I'm so eagerly waiting for the engine rebuild 🤩
Its coming!
using a socket as a slave pin was a good idea. I have been a professional transmission rebuilder for 45 years. you do good work. but take my advice if your transmission ain't broke don't fix it. clean it up and paint if you want, but if its working leave it alone. the things you have done up till now is child's play compared to the BMW manual transmission, you will be in a nightmare if you have never done 50 or so of them before,,,,,,,,,,,
Hahaaa thank you OLDSKOOL im taking your advice don't worry. Can i paint it?
Аре стига бе, какво толкова има в една ръчна кутия на БМВ? Ние тук ги ядем за закуска :)
I used to rebuild starters for a living. The diassembly/reassembly process/sequence was quite 'unusual' and much slower than it could be. However, it was magnificent to watch the detail go into the rebuilding. Much more than we ever did, but of course, we had to make money. Considering this was probably the first starter that this person had done, it was a joy to watch. Bosch starters were always nice to rebuild. Lucas ones not so much...
I appreciate the fact you share your work, do not use music or feel the need for incessant chit-chat. Worth a sub, hammering the bell and thumbing up.
In my Lada 1975 release is identical to the starter. Although some of the details I would advise to replace a new one ( starter relay, rotor hub ) very interesting video. I look with pleasure . Greetings from Russia
Thanks man! Good advice.
Приятно видеть русских
Он рукожоп, так делать как он нельзя, неплохо восстановил только внешнюю составляющую. Забыл про некоторые моменты!
Всем похуй на твою помойку 1975 года, и не пиши ты по английски, столько ошибок, не позорься андрэк
@@user-mo9bt1jq8d втулки бы поменять , пятаки на втягивающем.
Quick question - Why wouldn't you use temporary bolts in the threads instead of masking tape for the blasting and/or painting?
Would also give you somewhere else to tie the hanging wires to.
Plus all the bolts could be reused for the next restore project.
Oh thank you so much for this comment dude. Great idea, expect to see this in future videos.
Restore It I love your channel. It’s a great inspiration. Also the fact that even though you are highly skilled, you are still always eager to learn. I love these comments section of your channel, and I’m sooo happy to see you through your journey.
Well done!
Brings back memories of auto shop where we learned to rebuild starters (and generators and alternators too!) Used to be cost effective...now with the price/availability of the rebuild kits and labor it's cheaper to just buy a manufactured unit. :(
Of course our goal was just to get it cleaned, rebuilt and working again. This is orders of magnitude beyond what I used to do.
20:53 OMGGGG ..Exelent work!!
Almost feel like there’s too much time invested to ever risk driving this car on the streets again 😅 might belong in a museum even though that would be a shame in itself.
Это очень круто 😀 👏👏👏!!!
Yeah, I did the starter for my bike. Starts out scary then little by little you realize there's no magical science to it. Love the detail work. I spend many years working on cars. Once in a blue moon I'd see a car that looked as good underneath as the rest did. Always thought it would be fun to do.
Thanks man, you're spot on about it starting scary and then getting easier. Its fun to do, but a hell of a lot of work thats for sure.
I'm studying aircraft maintenance and I remember a year ago we had to overhaul one of these but for an aircraft. Pretty much the same thing. Man it was a pain!
*@**14:48** Man, that looks like you dug it up from an abandoned junkyard!*
*If you had wicked away the old solder from the brush holder contacts (without grinding) youd've found a hole in each tab. Insert the untinned, fluxed braid lead of the brush about 2-3mm through the hole, hold & heat, touch solder. I always enjoy your work, and you always respond kindly to my comments & advice. Thank you*
Oh damn i did not know this! Thanks for telling me man. I'm going back in there to rectify a few things. This will now be one of them.
Aww, come now- not that serious. I believe they'll be alright.
What else you say is wrong?
Please- if you do- make a short video of it?
Паять щетки в автомобильных стартерах нельзя, только контактная сварки или прикручивать. Слишком большие токи проходят по проводникам это ведет их к большому прогреву, отпаяется очень быстро.
That's why the brushes are attached by copper braid.
It's usually used for _desoldering_ and it holds up to
current quite well at that short distance.
Поэтому щетки крепятся медной оплеткой.Обычно он используется для _desoldering_ и он поддерживаеттока довольно хорошо на таком коротком расстоянии.
Припаяйте два провода и замкните на аккумулятор, место пайки сразу разомкнется не успев хорошенько раскалить провод. Пайка в таких агрегатах недопустима, не просто так щетки (отвод сетка) сваривается контактной сваркой или прикручиваются болтами.
Really good restoration! You have really improved your soldering techniques and tools, cheers!
Also, I'm thinking about buying an e30 to fix it somewhat like this but I'm not sure about how much work and money would I spend on a project like this, what do you recommend?
Thank you Juan! Depending on how bad of a car you start with will depend on money. But in all seriousness for a full restoration like this you are looking at 20k plus not including time or tools. Great fun, very stressful at times, but well worth it in the end (i'm sure)
You do amazing work. I love your videos. Cheers from the USA
Amazing work , can't wait to see the complete car !
Thank you Lorenzo, me either :)
Me gustan todos los vídeos que haces, y siempre les doy un "like".........there you've got your first lesson in spanish "mate"😂
Not a clue. Haha i've got a lot of learning to do!
@Restore It
He likes all of the videos you make, and always gives you a “thumbs up” like.
I just replaced my brushes and that was a headache! you have the patience of cockroach waiting for my lights out to have a party!
Haha thank you!
Looking great. Always great to see that some people still know what to put back where after dismantling. Happy new year !!!
Very impressive as always. Want to thank you restore it for the amazing videos that inspire and instruct!
Thank you Christopher! Its my pleasure to provide these videos as entertainment and learning oppotuinites. Thanks for watching, have a great new year.
Hey are you gonna do a full engine tear down and rebuild. That would be awesome 😀👍👍
I sure am Steve. I just need to find another one first.
Mr. Restore It, Are you maybe Planning to do a full restoration of the engine ?
(That would be a very interesting Video :D )
I am! But I'm going to have to buy one haha.
You don't have a engine for this car ?
I think he already restored the original engine without filming it but im not sure. But I saw one engine definitely in one of the videos. I think in the front suspension restoration video...
Amazing video, like always!! Keep up the great work! 👍🏻 never get tired of watching your videos!
Thank you Marcos!! Much love for this comment.
it facinates me that bmw made their starter serviceable like the cover for the shaft on the rear thats so you can easily knock out the bushing, it makes me warm and tingly inside
This is partly where my love for BMW comes from :)
Isn't it made by Bosch?
By Next Year, You'll Have The Cleanest BMW On Earth Lol
We'll see about next year, maybe the next haha.
Nice one man
Probably the best running and least likely to fail catastrophically as well.
but the dirtiest lungs. Never use Quartz sand for blasting. It is really really really bad. The Grandmother from my Girlfriend died with only 66 Years. She had pneumoconiosis.
So are you moving to Spain for the Heat or the New workshop ?
Great video again man...Thanks for sharing...;-p
Thank you Eye. And i'm moving for both. Both are as important as the other. I'm a cold guy and I'm in my friends garage at the moment.
@@RestoreIt - Good move! I live in California, but my brother and his wife live in London. However, at this time of year, they vacation at their condo in Barcelona! :o))
These videos are so satisfying to watch.
Excellent video. A+++. Was expecting a disassembly and cleaning job and little else. Electroplating, proper paint, new motor brushes and ancillary hardware, great attention to detail. Final product looks glorious.
Isnt it sad most YT "restore" vids have no restoration simply a clean and paint.
22:23 It's alive. It's alive.
(15:45) - Fantastic restoration but I think you might have put one of those brushes in the wrong way round.
That one on the right looks much shorter than the others.
Maybe it's just the camera angle?
What do you think?
Great video anyway. Thumbs up from this subscriber.
Thanks Anthony i did indeed. I will be correcting this mistake. I appreciate you pointing this out to me.
Какой фантастиш Втулку медно-графитную не поменял Рукожоп!!!
Can't stop watching your E30 content. I am currently restoring an E30 325i myself and am super motivated by you. In saying also super turned off but some of the part restorations as some of 'em seem like really challenging tasks; provided I dont have a workshop to do the work in. Stripped motor down and sending parts to engineers now, hopefully all is well. First time doing this much work on a car do learning every turn of a spanner. Really enjoying it and will keep learning from you here. Really grat stuff. I just wish I could consult with you more lol. Some of this stuff isn't so easy and get stuck quite regularly. Anywho keep up the wonderful work🔥💪🏾👌🏾
This man is amazing , he made me restore my old car
I restored a E36 starter once. It really sucked. I did everything from the top of the car, and I swear the second I finished everything my girlfriend is like hey you sure you don't need this little ring? It was the ring you see at 4:13 and I had to take everything apart again. The part worked great after rebuilding it though. I had a original BMW kit for the work. Aren't there any available for the E30?
You should show how to take it out and install it in the car
All to come Maajaa :)
You are the King of restoration
I used to work in a factory reconning these starters. You can make a tool at home to strip the solenoids. A piece of angle iron with 3 holes to match the solenoid with a bigger hole in the middle for a bar to press the cap out. De-solder the cap first to protect the wires. Bolt the solenoid to the angle iron and use 2 spacers either side of the solenoid to stop it fouling in the vice. Place a bar inside the solenoid through the center hole. Put in a vice and press the cap off.
Красавчик 👍
А как он понял что ты написал??
Это уже ни моя проблема
@20:51, oh man, I know that pain.
Such a nightmare haha.
Am I the only one that finds these videos to have a strong, unintended ASMR quality to them?
Awesome work ! I like it !
Sandblasting, 2k paint, electroplating...
Crazy work but better than new
Sounds so smoorh.
It does doesn't it. I'm very happy with it.
It's funny how we use an electric motor to start the combustion engine when all we need is... the electric motor. Also I came here for the sandblasting.
Very true haha.
@@RestoreIt Was that time stamp on the blasting accurate?
Build that BMW E30 like a beast hats off to you man you are quite awesome
Cant wait to see that e30 fully restored. Nice work
Thank you Roker me either!
