I did it!
I never worked on cars before but I watched some YouTube videos and learned how to replace these bad boys myself. Feels good man.

It’s exactly what is says it is
This is exactly the same thing as the OEM BMW one. Just not BMW branded. Works the same and got rid of my CEL and limp mode.

Exactly like OEM
Fitment was great, came in fast and helped my get back on the road no issues, while not charging a ton like genuine bmw since they are the same thing just with different branding on it.

Just what I needed
When I got my M3 I knew that my throttle actuators would eventually die. This OE part is exactly the same as the one that was in my car and the install was not too hard for a novice like myself. I was able to cure the christmas tree of lights on my dash and replace the part in a few hours by following a DIY guide on the forum. Don't be afraid to tackle this one yourself and save some cash. The added FCP warranty was just icing on the cake!
