My 2010 Z4 clicks in the front when I try to start. After a few tries, it'll turnover.
Does anyone have have a DIY link on how to replace the starter?

Since no one replied, I will share what I did.
Disconnect negative cable after the car goes into sleep mode.
Disconnect the positive cable off the wall, where you would do a jump start.
Remove the driver side engine compartment brace.
Disconnect the electrical connector and hose off of the fuel tank pressurizer pump. It's just above the starter to gain access to the starter.
Remove the positive cable off the starter using a 13mm socket.
Disconnect the starter signal connector.
Remove the E12 starter mounting bolts.
Pull the starter backwards and wiggle it out.
Be careful not to force the starter backwards too much. You do not want to shear off any wires of connectors behind the starter.
Take your time. It took me 3 hours from removal to installation.
No need to remove the intake manifold.
