You probably have a bad starter.
What you have is not enough spring tention in the solenoid to move the pinion which is under load off the flywheel ring gear. It is usually a matter of lubrication somewhere, probably on the solenoid piston which is not servicable on Bosch solenoids. It could just be a lack of lube on the pinion drive bushing and armature shaft. The pinion drive (starter drive) must slide back on the shaft for the solenoid to disengage electrically.
