starter switch sparking, but starter wont turn.

Thought I would post this problem/solution as I have not seen it mentioned here (i could be wrong on that, at least I did not see it)

I had a problem getting my M to start. I would depress the starter switch and it would heat up and smoke, but the starter would not turn. I cleaned all the connections till they were bright metal and this problem continued. I tried to jump from the battery to the starter and got sparks but the starter would not turn. I was befuddled as I had the starter checked TWICE, and it was fine. Well it was the starter gear was jamming and when I would pull it out unjam. Now the problem is fixed, or at least I know a remedy.

Thanks Strojny Implement, lucky to have my place less than three miles from them.
