Looks like it’s the starter. Pulled it out and tried to jump it and the starter looks like it’s seized.

What a horrible pull to try and get that out lol

anyways. For anyone else my symptoms were. Slow crank and eventually wouldn’t crank. No clicking either. Battery is good

Nice! My c320 is at 155k miles. Maybe I'll replace it preemptively.
