Where to buy Throttle Actuators

What's up everyone,

I'm going to replace my throttle actuators soon and just looking for the best place to buy from.

Looks like bimmerworld is the cheapest OE at $560

Where did you guys buy them from?

You can get them rebuilt if you wanted; https://mpowermotorsports.org

Some people swear by them, and while I have no experience (never replaced mine yet), I'm sure other members will chime in and vouch/give advice.

Any reputable BMW parts place will supply OEM throttles.

Ahh thanks! I looked him up, read some reviews and made the purchase! Really the lifetime warranty is what got me!

Amazing how people still aren't recommending FCPEuro. Lifetime warranty on everything they sell, even oil. Buy an actuator from them and never worry about it again.

Mpowermotorsports.

Great price and also lifetime warranty. Great guys to deal with.
Mine failed 1.5 months ago and they helped me out.

Did yours fail? If not, why replace them. Mine lasted 142k miles and someone else’s here lasted 180k.

No mine haven't failed, but I definitely don't want them to fail while driving. It's guaranteed they will fail. Just unknown when.
It's piece of mind for me. Just like when I do the rod bearings.
