Product Details

Denso 280-6208 is a remanufactured starter designed around the original gear-reduction starter concept used in many BMW platforms. The reman process includes testing and replacement steps focused on electrical integrity, current transfer, and mechanical consistency. That makes this starter a practical choice for BMW 1 Series M, 128i, 135i, 323i, 328i, 335i, 528i, 535i, 740i, X3, X5, X6, and Z4 applications listed in the fitment data. Part number 280-6208 is also cross-referenced to Bosch 16026 and SR0492X for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starting from worn internal electrical components
• Voltage transfer issues at the starter terminals
• Noise or inconsistency from worn bearings, brushes, or seals

Installation Notes

Verify the exact BMW model, year, and engine-specific fitment before ordering, since the application list includes multiple 2004-2011 configurations and some entries are limited to production through 03/2011. Confirm the starter power rating shown in the fitment notes where applicable. Use the vehicle’s original mounting and electrical connections as the reference for installation.

Quality Assurance

Denso has supplied automakers with electrical components for more than 60 years, and its remanufactured starters are bench-tested to confirm factory-original performance. The remanufacturing process includes high-voltage testing, replacement of wear items, and performance validation to support consistent starting output.
