Operation: Removing the starter motor on the BMW 3 Series E46 320D

Today we will see, in this guide, how to remove the starter motor on the BMW 3 Series E46 320D, following the instructions below. First we open the engine hood and remove the upper engine protection; then we remove the panel that we find under the wiper arms. At this point we unscrew the fixing screws of the intake ducts, disconnecting the sleeve (unscrewing the screws of the clamps); at the bottom we find our starter motor, where we are going to unscrew the screws to remove it. We just have to disconnect the electrical connector to extract it and replace it with the new one!
