Technical Details and Features

The RY-748 starter relay operates at 12 volts and includes nine male blade terminals arranged in a rectangular connector format.

Verify the relay terminals match the socket configuration on your BMW 325i, 325is, 328i, or 328is. Since this relay does not include a mounting bracket, secure it properly within the relay housing to prevent movement or disconnection during vehicle operation.
