Have you looked into EuroPower on google? They have really good reviews so that’s the current option i’m looking into…

I haven’t. I replaced mine with new VDO (bmw factory) actuators

Right! Changes the whole look of the car and makes it 100x more aggressive

Thanks man 🙏

Thanks!! and oh no sorry to hear! It’s always unfortunate when those unexpected parts break down on you. Glad you had warranty to get it all resolved 🙌

you never had any actual issues with the car? it just went into limp mode and gave you temporary codes?

Me too! Now i’m learning all about this new platform haha. I’ll be back in another F8X car, my time isn’t over with that platform 🙌

@@AutomotiveTherapy I really like what you have done with this thing so far tho! I really hope you don't end up having to buy a whole new TB Actuator! Entertaining none the less, and the passionate M enthusiast in me still finds any and all of this car content very joyful to watch!

@@AutomotiveTherapy any update?

Thanks!

stupid garage door lol

Haha i’ll take it!

Yea the code for my increased emissions is reading the O2 sensor signal on bank 2. So I cleared the code and i’ll see if it comes back up again. Might just need to replace that sensor

we checked battery and it read fine. Wish it was a low battery over the TA’s 😢

have you seen the 2b27 code before? It says “Throttle valves, test of retum springs, bank 1” somebody told me that I have a cracked valve spring and it’s not the actuators

Don't rebuild, replace with complete new unit. Thanks

why does it say throttle valve springs on the code? Could there be a broken valve spring?

I honestly want it to be the actuators because some people said it could be a cracked valve spring, have you seen the 2b27 code before? There’s hardly any info on that code

@@AutomotiveTherapy Throttle actuators have a mechanical valve return spring. Its purpose is to return the butterfly valve to close once you've let off the throttle. This is completely independent to your intake or exhaust valve springs - if that is what you are concerned about.

I have seen a few times these valve return springs failing due to oil/sludge accumulation around intake manifold - probably due to fault in PCV. Dirty oil deposits around the mechanical valve return spring can cause it to either stick open or fail to close completely, resulting in engine code. Anyway, just replace entire throttle actuator. If previous owner mentioned that they've sorted out the throttle actuators and rod bearings 5000 miles ago and the actuators have already failed, I'd personally be questioning the rod bearings too. I'd drain the oil and filter to see if there's any metal contaminants/flakes.

That day won’t come anytime soon. Get yourself a petrol 😎

This one had under 80k miles. And 30k miles is great on an M4!

Aye! Congrats B58’s are amazing

@@AutomotiveTherapy Thanks, but yeah now i am all in on the culture, will comment on everything here now

We used protools and got the codes in the video

Could you re-elaborate?

​@@AutomotiveTherapy well, i don't like all these codes and problems with my cars. I buy cars without computers crap.

@@rovervitesse1985lol man take your buick and trade that crap in for a real mans car
