[Engine] 2012 B9 Starter Motor replacement.

[Gavinj2006]

So today was spent changing the starter motor on my 2012 B9.

I have many thoughts on the matter but my simple take aways are these;

1. It is possible on the drive, on stands with just a few tools.
   
2. I will never, ever, ever attempt this again.
   

From inexplicable battery shelf bolt placement, to the hidden top bolt and the near impossible removal of the old unit, the whole process was a massive pain in the behind.

Still, saved myself £200 in labour so I can't complain too much.
