Hi all,

I've bought a 2008 M3 E90 about 9 months ago. It has 185k miles and rod bearings were done at 80k, so had a shop around me do the rod bearings right away.

I put the car in storage for the winter and took it out a few months ago. I started driving it and the car went into limp mode. Scanned it and found out it was left bank throttle actuators. I figured I'd try to do it myself.

When I went in, I've found a few pretty nuts things (i think), but need a sanity check. Zip ties to keep sensors together, air filter housing box not screwed down, phelem not connected to either vacuum line or fresh air hose. Also, the wiring for AC compressor clutch is floating off of the anchor(?). Not sure if that matters. I'm a little worried about putting it back on.

I'm pretty far along removing everything but now need to cut some zip ties on sensors to get it the electrical housing out of the way and get to the throttle actuators.

Do I send the car back to the shop, tell them what i found and ask them to finish it up and clean up the issues? They're a reputable shop. I'm assuming that these issues/items were likely from them when they did the rod bearings, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any thoughts? Id love to do this on my own. I ordered more zip ties (just in case).

Thanks
