Hi Guys,
My car is a 2008 z4 M roadster. For the past few months iv had the problem where after the car warms up it wouldnt start. All lights, radio etc works but when you turn the key it just clicks. The motor doesnt turn. I have checked the battery and had it tested and that is not the issue. Something was obviously getting heat sensitive and not allowing the car to start.
The last 2 times when I drove the car the same problem started occurring in the morning when the car is still cold. The car is now sitting at a mechanic who has taken out and cleaned the starter but says the problem persists.
Somebody suggested that this is a problem with the starter solenoid. \
Has anyone experienced this problem before?
Im not quite sure now if I should risk buying just the solenoid or if I should replace the whole starter. The price difference between the two is huge.
Any input would be of help, thanks.
