F10 M5 Starter motor (are N63 and S63 the same?)

[Hamo]

Hi,

I am new to the forum, so please forgive me if this post is in the wrong place.

I have a 2013 F10 M5, and the starter recently went to heaven I have found a place that has a starter motor for the N63 B44 and N63 B44B motor, but the chap selling it doesnt think it will fit the S63 engine. In all the research I have done I find that the starter motor is the same for both engines, so I thought I would jump on here and see if I am correct.

Any help greatly appreciated.

AFAIK yes it's the same but be wary if second hand part.
