BMW E46 Throttle Body Removal Tips

Removal and cleaning of the throttle body on a regular basis will increase the engines responsiveness and keep the rpms flowing smoothly. This should be done once about every 6 months. Took about 30 minutes to get to the throttle body. Only use designated cleaners.
General overview of the bolts needing removal and more specifically the 10mm nut that is hidden behind throttle body.

thanks for this, that tricky nut was driving me nuts!

[@bradess9672]

Thanks! I didn't need to see it so not caring about vid darkness. Your explanation was perfect.

Connects to this 🧐? The complete darkness ads to the disappointment

[@RezDisciple]

Didn't show the removal. Sorry, but nothing here to go off of really.

I have the same car and I'm trying to find my throttle position sensor

[@Volvo8Fifty4Life]

Thanks for the video, I wish you had more light though as its very hard to see.

How do you program after putting new throttle body out

[@tengzturiagaiii3185]

Did you have to sync it ?

Where can I find the throttle body position sensor on a 99 BMW 328i E46

Nancy Tienda same
Problem here

[@rubenlipoan1324]

The sensor is attached to the throttle body. You need to get a new throttle body. They are the same part on the 328 and 323, just different label. Got mine for 35£ from a scrapyard

You forgot to mention that the engine is a m52 non TU.

LIGHTS, PLEASE!! The simplest part of the job. No training needed to shine it in the bay.

[@RossPiccinini]

yes

[@firejackal]

doesn't show removal, badly out of focused, no light to see anything at the end

[@harrisjohnny477]

when you are filming your videos you need to add more lighting I can't see a damn thing about what you're trying to explain I

[@Misbah007]

Why do people work in night time!!

[@RossPiccinini]

I am pretty sure this was after I worked a night at a restaurant.

[@jtaylor4027]

You knew you were making a video but wouldn't set up a simple light. Wasted time!
