Where is the starter located on a BMW 523?

[MacHeidi]

BMW 5 Series starter motor is installed on the left side of the engine transmission near the spark plug wiring module. Function of automotive starter: The starter converts the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy, driving the engine flywheel to rotate and enabling engine startup. Before an engine can operate under its own power, it must be rotated by external force. The process where an engine transitions from a stationary state to self-sustained operation with external assistance is called engine starting. Principle of automotive starter: Its working principle is based on the energy conversion process involving Ampere's Law as introduced in middle school physics - a current-carrying conductor experiences force in a magnetic field. The motor consists of essential components including armature, commutator, magnetic poles, brushes, bearings, and housing.
