No crank

More issues. The alternator pulley was out of alignment with the other pulleys so I installed new bushings. Why the alternator is out I replaced the coolant hose that lives below the alternator. In the picture is also the new OEM negative battery cable.

With fresh oil added I'm ready to crank the motor. (Turned by hand previously.) No go. The ignition switch would not make the starter turn. Could it be the starter, or all of that funky wiring? Not wanting to dig into the wiring at that point, I use my remote start switch to determine the starter was shot. With a quick call to my buddy, Chris Willet, at Sin City BMW in Las Vegas, I sourced some spare starters.
