S1212 Replacement Starter Motor

Choose a replacement by comparing the S1212 starter motor and its Lucas reference, LRS01212, with your existing unit. The listed electrical rating is 12V 2.2kW. A starter motor turns the engine during starting; the electrical rating and mechanical engagement must suit the application. Applications include selected BMW 750i 5.0 Petrol variants.

Key Features and Benefits

  • 12V electrical system: match the vehicle voltage before selecting a unit.
  • 2.2kW power: compare the listed rating with the original starter motor.
  • 9-tooth pinion: compare gear engagement and pinion position.
  • Clockwise rotation: check the specified direction before fitting.
  • M8 connector / terminal: check the connection against the original unit.

  • BMW 750i 5.0 Petrol – selected applications 1987–1994 (engine code M70B5012A).
  • BMW 850i 5.0 Petrol – selected applications 1990–1994 (engine code M70B5012A).

When Should You Replace Your Starter Motor?
