Denso 280-1010 Starter

Denso Reman Starter for BMW Applications

The Denso 280-1010 reman starter is a 12-volt, 1.6 kW clockwise starter built for BMW starting systems that demand consistent cranking performance. It is a remanufactured OE-style unit for BMW X5, X6, 550i, 750i, and related models across the 2008-2014 range.

Denso’s Reman Starter line focuses on restoring factory-level electrical performance through testing, replacement of wear items, and bench validation. This part number, 280-1010, is a direct-fit starting solution for select BMW V8 applications where dependable cold-start and hot-start operation matters.

Key Features

• 12.0-volt starter with 1.6 kW power rating
• Clockwise starter rotation
• High-voltage tested armature and field coils
• Refinished commutators with performance validation
• Premium copper terminals for stable electrical current
• All-new bearings, brushes, and seals
• Bench-tested for factory-original performance

Product Details

Denso remanufactured starters are built from OE engineering knowledge and restored through a controlled remanufacturing process. The 280-1010 uses high-voltage testing on the armature and field coils, replacement of key wear components, and final bench testing to verify output before it leaves the remanufacturing process. For BMW owners, that means a starter designed around the electrical demands of larger displacement engines and repeated start cycles.

This part cross-references Bosch SR3295X for the same application. It also aligns with BMW starter applications where OE fit and electrical consistency are required. Search terms such as BMW X5 starter replacement, BMW X6 reman starter, and BMW 750i 1.6 kW starter all point to this application family.

What It Helps Solve

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter wear
• Intermittent starting from worn electrical contacts
• Starter noise related to internal wear
• Voltage loss at the starter terminals
