135i weak warm start... now no start

[Tatt2002]

I’ve been having a weak warm start for probably a year now, though yesterday was the first time it didn’t start. I had 4 weak starts within a 2 hour period, then on the 5th, it turned really slow, then gave up. After that, just a click. I tried jumping it, but I was getting nothing. The lights and everything were still working. Luckily I was able to pop start it to get home. This morning, once again nothing. I tried jumping it again, and it didn’t turn. Am I safe to assume it’s a dead starter? I just never had a starter go out like this.
Any advice is appreciated

How old is your battery? How many miles on the car?

[Tatt2002]

The battery is only a year old, and there’s 88k on the car

I replaced the battery, thinking it was going to fix the weak start… but it was the same

Time for a new starter. I replaced mine on my e90 like 6 yrs ago. I had to remove the manifold and other stuff to get to it.

Check your ground straps for corrosion. There is a post on this site regarding replacing corroded ground straps.
