hello,
as it is my first post I'd like to welcome everyone!

I'm from Poland and I own e30 318is touring '94 (engine was changed instead of m40b16). I've got a little problem: after engine start I can hear very short strange noise (0,5-1sec), the sound is like zip or smth. here is the link for movie on youtube with this problem:

starter is hanging up on the flywheel replace the starter and problem should be fixed. or just leave it until it breaks.
