No two starter motors are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
No — the BMW i4 is a fully electric vehicle and has no internal combustion engine, so it does not have a starter motor at all. Electric motors do not require a separate starter to initiate combustion, so this part simply does not exist on any variant of the i4. If your i4 has a starting or power fault, the issue is more likely related to the high-voltage battery, 12V auxiliary battery, or associated control modules — a BMW-specialist breaker or EV technician would be the right starting point.
Almost certainly not — the i4 is a pure battery-electric vehicle with no combustion engine, so there is no starter motor on any version of the car. It's possible there has been a misunderstanding about the model, or the fault diagnosis may be pointing to something else such as the 12V auxiliary battery, which does exist on the i4 and can cause apparent 'no start' symptoms. We'd recommend double-checking the diagnosis with a BMW or EV specialist before ordering any parts.
Because the i4 is fully electric, a failure to start is most commonly linked to the 12V auxiliary battery (which powers the car's control systems), the high-voltage traction battery, or a fault with the charging system or BMS. A starter motor, alternator, or fuel system component would never apply to this model. Describe the exact symptoms to a breaker or EV specialist and supply your registration so they can identify the correct part for your specific build.
No — even though the i4 shares its bodyshell with the G26 4 Series Gran Coupé, the i4 is fully electric and has no starter motor, while the combustion-engined 4 Series does. The two cars share very little mechanically under the skin, and drivetrain components are not interchangeable between them. If you need a starting-related part for a combustion 4 Series, search under that model rather than the i4.
