Are you sure the brand new starter is still working correctly??? I haven't had my M's starter off but I'm assuming it has an electonic silenoid to push the starter gear into ring gear before the starter gear starts to rotate. If the silenoid isn't working correctly the starter gear doesn't engage the starter gear into the ring gear and it grinds. (had more than one car the starter silenoid has gone out on...)

If the ring gear looks fine it probably is. I'd be pulling the starter off and having it checked out and fixed or replaced.

And like I said, I haven't had my M's starter apart so maybe it doesn't have a silenoid, but I imagine it does. And I'd make 100% sure the starter was working properly before I'd try hand cranking an M. Even if I could hand crank it cold I doubt I could hand crank it hot.

Just be sure to push it all the way through a compression stroke. If you get to the peak of the compression stroke and don't make it all the way through the engine is going to push the crank arm back at you.

later,
scruffy
