I'm converting my 19 inch BBS RS-GT's to a 20 inch stepped lip. Similar to these.

awe...this thread makes me miss my high mileage E46. Had 182k when I sold it to put some cash towards my M.

I had about the same replacements and maintenance as you, at the same mileage...haha.

Throttle Body Actuator Gave up the Ghost



OK..........Finally at 175k miles i got an error on my dash saying Reduced Engine Power and my dash lit up like a christmas tree. I took it to a local auto parts store to get the code read and it said:

P1628..so I looked on the forums for more information.

2B21 - P1628
Information saved in DME
Fault code 2B21 - P1628
Fault text Throttle-valve actuator pre-drive check, bank 1
Fault description Throttle Valve Actuator Spring Test Malfunction during Opening (Bank 1)
Condition for fault identification
Test condition: Wire permanently disabled

So I bought 2 of them from the stealership because if Bank one went bad most likely bank 2 will give up the ghost eventually. I got a local indy shop to do the install and now im back on the road.

wow
i remember when you first got the car, i thought ur 330ci had amazing mileage (250K or something right?)

but wait...didn't you get this car at like 80K you drove 100,000 miles in like 2~3 yrs??
how is that possible....do you use this for work/commute...?
what do you do for living? just wondering.....cause i'm simply amazed haha

Got it at 70k, Its my work/commute/weekend car. I use my vehicles as you know I get just as much joy driving my M every day as those who only drive theirs on the weekends. Not knocking what they do but everyone has different ways of doing things and thats what make this forum so good. I think the best mod so far are my LCI Tails.

I just read through your whole thread. I like your take on how you use your cars. I'm the same way. Why buy it if you can't enjoy it to the fullest? If you take care of it it will return the favor. You give me hope to not have too many issues with a higher mileage E9X M car. Did you ever get a warranty or are you just winging it?

I never got an extended warranty. But I never got one when I had my 330ci. You're right as far as maintainence is concerned I don't mess around.
