-Check battery output while trying to start; still mostly likely the starter. Search for my threads, I have a 06 530i and the starter went out around 101k. Part is around 150-200, but the labor is 6+ hours because you have to get the intake manifold off.

Same thing happened to my car. I have 1 month left on the warranty. Starter was replaced. Seems the armature brushes are worn already. That's not a good sign for longterm reliability.

How many miles? 135K miles sounds like a pretty good life span for a starter...
