N47 starter replacement

Pro-Owner · 08-08-2019, 05:24 PM

Hi all,

We recently purchased a cheap f30 that needs to have its starter replaced. Easy job on the f30 but i have 2 questions. 1. I found the torque specs on the newtis site for the starter motor mounting bolts but it looks a bit low (19nm) ? Does anybody have the correct torque spec for these bolts?. 2. What is the type of bolt head called? I need some wrench sockets but I cant seem to find them...

Thanks in advance.

I just did this job on an F30 and used a 10mm socket for the front facing bolt and a 10mm gear wrench for the rear facing one. Youtube has many good videos on this BTW.
