Re: 2001 bmw ci convertible will not start. i hear...
If the battery is fully charged, one on of a few things could be wrong. Bad solenoid, bad starter, or engine siezed. First two would probally only be around a $70 part.

I don't think the number of teeth on the starter matter. You just need the right starter for that engine.
In 1968, the 283 CI was replaced with a 307 CI. In 1969, the 327 CI engine was enlarged to the 350 CI. Those are the options for those years, small block v-8s: 283, 307, 327, 350; Big block v-8s were the 396 CI, and 402 CI. An old chevy guy might be able to tell you what engine you have, by looking at it.
the battery is most likely too low to start the engine as the starter motor needs a lot more power than the lights to operate, you will need to charge the battery.......hope this helps......cheers.
I would try replacing the battery first. Even a fully charged battery can have bad cells which will cause the battery to not have enough "power" to turn over the starter/engine.
Hi. If you can hear a click (quite loud) from the engine compartment, but
the starter won't crank, this also usually caused by discharged
battery; since you already recharged the battery then the starter solenoid, starter cables or the starter motor itself could be a problem.
well running the voltage from alternator should be at least 14 volts or a bit higher, engine off it should read at least 13 volts at battery. if alternater is less then 14 volts, it is the alternator at fault. or a loose alt, belt.
is it making any noise at all, if it makes whineing noise but not crank, its a timing issue, if it has no noise at all it is likely the started, try banging on it when someone turns the key
Chck that the battery is fully charged . There used to be a syaing that, "many clicks means it's a bad battery. One click may be the starter". The solenoid is not engaging the flywheel. If the battery is fully charged the starter is bad.
