Throttle Actuator - Bank 2
Well, after 59K miles I have to have the TA on bank 2 replaced. Car stranded me on Friday and BMW Assist had me towed to my local dealership.
Thank goodness (again) for being CPO as at 53K miles my bank 1 throttle actuator malfunctioned and had to be replaced. I'll gladly pay my $50 deductible again for this. So far I since I bought the car in April 2012 (39K) I have had a new differential (low speed grinding noise), #6 coil pack, a driveshaft, and banks 1 and 2 throttle actuators replaced. Hopefully I'll be okay now for a while (only 7 more coil packs to look forward to). ha

Failing TBA
I've got one going out, 48k mi. but out of warranty by one year. $1,776 to replace one, but they recommend doing both for $2,700. Damn. That's the dealer - checking independent shops.

Ouch Greg...very sorry to hear that. Keep us posted on which direction you go. I had them both go out in just a few months so take that for what it's worth. I know some have not had any issues.

It's a dice roll, but just going to replace the one. Indy shop could have saved a couple hundred if I'd taken it there first. Should have it back tomorrow
Funny thing was that when I was driving to the dealer on 4 cylinders some guy in a Charger SRT8 was trying to get me to play - I felt stupid! |

When mine went out this last time I could not even drive the car. BMW Assist had to come and rescue me...thankful I was in a large parking lot!

TBA fixed
Well, my lucky Friday - got the car back with bank 1 actuator replaced out-of-warranty, and No Charge! Dealer covered it under Goodwill. Even though the dealer has changed ownership in the last year an mostly new people, it pays to have a history for purchase and service! Props to BMW Portland. Need to go buy a lottery ticket.

2nd TBA in a week
Bank 2 went out yesterday, one week after bank 1 - what are the odds? Again, cost was covered (49k mi, just over 5 years). BMW is covering part, dealer the labor. So, escaped ~$2,700 in charges overall and didn't have to do it myself! Repair was completed within 5 hours of me dropping it off this morning (barely made it there!).

Odds are great actually (as you already know). Both of mine went out within a couple weeks of each other. Glad they are both getting done!

Just replaced both a month ago.
2008 with 50k. $2500 at an Indy shop. The car had been going into limp mode on startup just a few time since February. It would give a DSC error something about unable to decelerate engine. Now that makes sense. About the same time the CCC died. |

Seriously, next time you guys have this issue, I will gladly give you my phone number via PM and walk you through the whole thing. $800 for the part, a thank you for the help is all I'll charge. Assuming you can halfway work with tools, this is a simple job.

Great offer. I'm glad I went through the dealer, however, since the whole thing was covered by goodwill dollars, I think mostly because I was under 50k miles, even though at 5 years.
