Experience I have been an ASE Master Mechanic for 25 years.I have worked in many dealearships although BMW's are my favorite.I now have my own shop,specializing in BMW's.I have autocrossed and even gotten into mud running with my 4x4.(I am NOT a teacher and don't claim to know everything about the cars I never see.I hope to help you with your repairs and do expect some knowledge on your side.)
Question i have a bmw 316i 1999 and when i am starting the car it misfires and then runs fine was told its the starter motor? agree or ?
Answer No it is not the starter!The starters job is to do just that start the car,actually turn the motor over.Being a 1999 if you have a scan tool put on diagnosis would be much easier.This is assuming the basics have been looked at plugs/wires,fuel pressure.So to answer your question I don't agree.
