1994 Bmw 530i 185,000 Miles Starter Problems

Good Morning Joe here from Orlando, Florida

I just replaced my starter old starter with a brand new starter. 2 months ago I replaced my original starter with a used starter because the old starter just stop working. The used starter solenoid begin to stick everytime I turned the ignition and would stay engaged.

So yesterday I had a brand new starter installed. I noticed when I turned the ignition the new starter solenoid is sticking just like the used starter.

Have anyone had this problem before or how could this be repaired?

Not that I know as a fact, but maybe a bad relay?

if it is sticking will this cause the battery to drain or car to sometimes not start?
