12417843526 vs 12417843530 - In the past the difference between these two was a New (530) or Rebuilt (526) starter. But as of January 2024 BMW no longer labels them new or rebuilt. Neither one has a core charge as of now. BMW does not keep both in stock so we will advise you which part number is available, however, we cannot guarantee what you/we receive a rebuilt or new starter.
