Here is my '08 E90 M3 6MT with 87,800 miles. As far as I know, the throttle actuators are original. The clutch and flywheel were replaced at 86k miles.
 I had the rod bearings replaced with BE bearings. I think it was about time...  Here's to many trouble-free miles! Last edited by AggieZig; 10-19-2018 at 07:57 PM.. |

Nearing 95,000 mi on my 08 E90 M3. Done TAs, all fluids (diff, trans, coolant, brake), new brakes, battery, cabin filters, sparks. Original rod bearings. Running like a charm.
What are the must-do's as I hit 100k? |

I would check suspension bushings. A quick test is to grab the control arms and try to twist with one hand. If you can contact metal at either end of the twist, it has more play than fresh. Or you can wait until you hear clunks while driving.

73k Miles on my 08, fluids changed regularly changed fluids, original bearings and TA's. Clean bill of health from blackstone, from 2k miles ago. Will probably do the RB's next year.

Black 2008 E90 purchased last year March with 79k motor blew a rod at 84k due to rod bolt coming loose on rod #1, found bolt in oil pan undamaged . Installed 11 block with new rb and mb car sits at 94k now running strong with drop in filter, test pipes and Xpipe with no resonators. Possible actuators going out soon...

2008 E92 6 Speed
84k Miles TAs have been done once prior to my ownership Original Rod Bearings- Waiting on an analysis I just sent into blackstone (likely doing them within the next 5k Miles regardless.) All Fluids have been changed/flushed, plugs done recently. Still on original clutch with no signs of slippage whatsoever (lots of highway mileage previous owner) Suspension Components in great shape Very solid (knock on wood). Rear Brakes/Rotors are in my near future. |

This bitch is just over ten years old!
52,000 miles - original owner ordered car. It gets started every few weeks and I drive my kids to school. I am addicted to my Raptor nowadays so I cant be bothered with this car, LOL - I like driving as fast as I want wherever I want! Anyway - no issues, all maintenance done by me and its immaculate with zero mods except the old-school exhaust mod, OEM grill, OEM spolier and some wheel studs and wider better tires. Not one thing replaced due to failure. Did plugs and all that at ~ 40K. Car sat around just getting a few mile drives for about 9 months waiting for an airbag recall while I banged around in a new 328 loaner. I have no worries about the throttle actuators because I never press the M button under load. Its my opinion that's what strips the gears. I called this out a long time ago on here. Plastic gears cant move in a fraction of a second under load. I'll probably do some rod bearings and list it for sale at some point and grab a GT350.

2008 e92 MT with 140,000 miles
New actuators at 80k New O2 sensors a couple time each already Brakes rebuilt at 120k New electronic module for M button cluster on steering wheel New rod bearings at 133k (bearing #1 in real bad shape, possibly resulting from a broken motor mount... Blackstone Labs always showed high lead) ...not inexpensive to maintain properly, but so worth it. Will now be debating if it will stay in the sable then the M2C finally arrives...

It shouldn't make a difference whether you hit the M button under load or simply get on and off the gas quickly. The effect would be the same (opening and closing the ITBs due to the change in throttle response) If you think that the small spike in throttle response from the M button would cause the gears to move to the point of damage, I just don't see how it would differ than stepping on the gas quickly. Track driving has the TAs moving the ITBs all day long and at a much more pronounced degree than the M button would. My thoughts on the matter is from wear and tear due to the material BMW used given the application of the part. Happy to hear your take. thanks BTW... Last weekend I drove an '18 Raptor like you have...awesome truck  Last edited by Ab28; 06-19-2018 at 10:40 AM.. |

Think about the curve of the M throttle map. [first number = physical pedal position %] [second number = physical throttle body plate openings %] no matter what mode: 0 == 0 100 == 100 normal mode: 50 == 50 M mode 50 == 80 When you hit the M button when your at 50% physical throttle the throttle plates move via the plastic gears instantly to 80% or whatever the actual number is it shocks the gear teeth and eventually strips them. I doubt that just mashing the pedal down to the floor could be as harsh as the controller but I don't do that to my car either. Be advised these numbers are made up but I know the second number is higher because the curve is way above half when you're in M mode. At the end of the day BMW should of had metal gears.
