I've got this 240D that has had an oft-patch together starter
motor. It quit again. I figured it was time to buy o fresh
one. Yeah, I kinda dense - probably should have spent the
money a year or two ago.
But where to buy...
I called all the local parts stores. No one could get me a
Bosch rebuilt. Lots of "just a good as a Bosch" and such.
I sure was spoiled with Rusty!
After looking at a number of websites, I decide on RockAuto.
It was pretty clear that I could really choose a Bosch
rebuild SR67X. Equivalents were available, but were clearly
marked as not Bosch. What cinched the deal for me was not
only a very good price - but for the core return I could have
them print a label on their account! The price is deducted
from the core charge.
So - for about $110 plus $45 core plus less than $15 shipping
I got a starter. It works. Yea! And it was easy to get a
label printed - and this heavy old starter is shipping
halfway across the country for less than $15. I doubt I
could have found a way to ship it for less $35.
So far, I'm pretty happy with my dealings with RockAuto.

I've been pretty happy with crockauto, but I am looking at autohausaz
and now rmeuropean too. We are on our own. Without Rusty, there is
no one stop...
I paid 25+ to rm for a trans mount (124) a month or so ago, and last
night I saw crockauto had a febi for under $9. Biggest problem with
crockauto is the shipping cost can be exorbitant. RMeuro has easy
free shipping, so is often cheaper total than crock, especially for
1-3 items.
