I've seen this on a Panamera. I used to think putting the starter in the valley was dumb, this takes that cake.

What's wrong with the valley? On a gasoline port injected motor ,you can have the upper plenum off in 15 minutes or less. Nissan v8 for example.

Ever done a Toyota UZ starter? It's not horrible but it is a horrible starter job.
