Why does the starter motor of the BMW 3 Series spin idle?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

In the event that the starter motor of our BMW 3 Series is spinning freely, it could simply be a problem with the battery, which does not have sufficient charge. In this case, just connect a fully charged battery and try to start the engine. Alternatively, there may be a fault with the motor itself and we will need to repair or replace it.
