1998 BMW 318is excessive current draw - possible starter issue

처리 내용

First of all, eliminate everything else of the final things you pulled prior to assuming it's the solenoid on the starter, but I think you are onto it with the starter. You would have all of these symptoms with a starter motor which is engaged all the time. I'd suggest you are going to end up replacing the starter anyway ... the drive to the mechanic if only a few miles away is not going to cause it any more damage than it has already experienced. At this point, if you are going to utilize the mechanic, I'd just drive it there directly and put it into their hands.
