What does any of this mean guys?

Would changing the starter motor solve the problem or is the starter clutch something else?
HELP! lol

I think the starter clutch is part of the starter, but I don't know for sure.
The picture of the BMW appears to be similar to the much lower cost starter Alda posted.

I have had a quick word with the service technician at my local dealer.
He tells me that the starter is in permanent mesh with the flywheel gearing.
The clutch is within the starter body.
I'm not sure how the actual integration occurs.
The unit is a non serviceable item but is easily replaced. (apparently)
If you feel competent I would take it out and have a good look for any water damage or bearing wear.
You should be able to connect it to a battery and hopefully locate the noise.
Replace if required.
This video may be of assistance.

I think the clutch arrangement might be something like this,

This may be the source of your noise.
