My boy has a 2013 650i x drive n63 (non tu). Recently had no start no crank conditions. He replaced the starter and replaced the battery at the same time. Now when he goes to start the car it makes a split second grind noise and then stops. I told him it believe it is a faulty starter, or the starter was installed incorrectly, but I'm not 100% sure. I can't describe the sound other then a metal on metal grind noise for just a split second. I can post a video after work today to help the diagnosis
EDIT: apparently it made the same exact noise prior to replacing the starter

It's an automatic so it doesn't have a flywheel: not sure on the flex plate though
Also can't figure out how to load a video

Yeah I was doing some reading/watching earlier today and found a video of a seized engine that sounds almost identical. So I told him to check that, and possibly pull his oil drain plug, to see if he has any oil or how much oil he has (since the car won't run to check on I drive)

There may be some important information left out. How did this car run right before this condition arose? Did he park a perfectly running car in his garage one night and the next day it did this? Perfectly running engines don't typically seize while sitting over night.

Have him ask the dealership for that n63 customer care package! |
