Alan,
I have to agree with the starter issue. I can put my car in gear and move it with the starter.

Chuck Norris can put his car in gear and start it with a roundhouse kick.
Chuck Norris can dribble a bowling bowl.
If Chuck Norris misspells a word and write a paragraph in all caps, Oxford changes the spelling and capitalization.

In short, if Logan cannot start the car, call Chuck Norris.

Starter motor advice needed

Hi All, I notice when my CSL has sat unused for a few weeks, then cold started (especially with winter here), the starter motor seems to be under load and struggle. Also makes a horrible noice when the engine doesn't kick over. Previously I would get instant start on the first key turn, now it...

Alan, the sr-444 is the starter from the 850i (v12). its a pretty stout starter. give it a shot ... its not expensive

When you up your engine’s compression ratio and power, OEM starters can be overtaxed and burn out. Here, we look at high-performance starters with the extra cranking power you need. more details on - https://www.carid.com/articles/high-torque-starters-ensure-your-engine-cranks-every-time.html

FYI - The Ferrari F355 has about the same displacement as your motor with a 3.5L V8. The factory compression ratio is 11:1. Ferarri used a run of the mill Denso starter. No high torque unit. Your motor may be special in the e9, but there is nothing novel about 11:1 compression.

355 Starter repair

My car developed an odd symptom. Starting while cold was a delayed start. Turn the key to start and the car would not start. Hold the key in start...

You can pick up any one of the BMW starters that @HB Chris mentioned from Autozone or the like. If it doesn’t help you can always return it.

Alternatively, you can buy a $20 ford starter relay. Run the skinny ignition wire that goes to the existing solenoid to the starter relay. Run large gauge wire from your battery to the big post on the relay, and the other big post to the starter solenoid that
originally accepted the skinny wife. That will give your starter solenoid plenty of juice and rule out a weak signal from your ignition switch.

FWIW this isn’t a hair brained idea. I used this well documented method on my MkII jetta to combat hot start issues. After the car was at operating temp it wouldn’t restart. Starter would just click. This was an approach addressed my issues. Personally, I wouldn’t do it in my e9, but it’s another inexpensive diagnostic approach.

Lastly, welding wire makes good inexpensive battery cable. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before but why not…

DIY Heavy Duty Battery Cables

Hi Folks, A few years ago I mentioned that I would make my own battery cables and post a DIY. I finally found the need to replace the cables so here we are. This isn’t meant for those that are going after a factory look. The cables aren’t that obvious in black but marine terminals won’t look...

Use an actual ford starter relay. They are $20 or less at autozone. Not your average relay.

STARTER WITH A SCREWDRIVER DIRECTAND IT STILL JUSTCLICKED.
