I have an intermittent problem with starting.
Listen to/watch the video:
www.poqit.com/starter_fail.mp4It only does this once in a while - maybe every 5th / 10th time. Occasionally (as in the video case) it doesn't start several times in a row.
I took it into BMW to investigate, and they couldn't reproduce it.
I then took it out several times until it failed again and then took it back to BMW. They listend to it (it only failed for about 2 seconds on the BMEW NOG premises and then fired, but that convinced them to replace the starter motor, just before Christmas.
It's taken a while to get back out and ride due to weather, but now I find it's not fixed.
I know the first step is to take it back to BMW, but does anyone have any hints on what else might go wrong - since it's not the motor itself?
(Actually, the ideal first step is to break it permanently so it can be diagnosed properly, but whatever.)
Thanks in advance...
