E92 M3 Throttle Actuators Replacement (Failed at 34,000 Miles)

So as most of you already know, the Throttle Actuators on my E92 M3 failed at an astonishing 34,000 miles. I was surprised when I first felt the car acting weird on cruise control when driving up to the Bay, and I thought to myself it couldn't really be the actuators already... Sure enough, 5 minutes later the car went into limp mode.
So what did I do? I flew Mike, the Owner of Precision Dynamics down in Costa Mesa up to the Bay! It worked out perfectly. I have wanted him to visit me for over 2 years now, and this just fell into place. He came up and fixed my actuators the next day and then we were able to spend the long weekend together out on the boat and around the Bay.
Truong, you've done so much for me and I am eternally grateful for our close friendship. I loved having your and your wife up here. Thank you again for everything and I'll see you very soon!

Mike's the dream mechanic we all need close by

These engines are like plane engines, NA, will tick over for 300,000 miles if looked after, pretty incredible the acts went at 34,000! Get those done and the rods and these engines are bullet proof, mines an 08 on 108,000 rods and acts changed voluntarily at 84k.

Glad its back on the roads again, looking forward to more videos. Love the quality and your downshifts are the meanest in the world. Keep it up man

Great video, That Milwaukee Ratchet is my favorite tool .

My actuator just failed in the first day when the temperature hits low 10F. Did some research and found this is the best video I could find across the net for the replacement DIY. Much appreciated to you and the Mechanic MAESTRO Mike.

Was hoping to see some secret trick to disconnect that hose that sits at the back of the plenum. It almost drove me crazy. I had to use a heat gun and squeeze the living hell out of that clip. Eventually I got it off and as a bonus a tingling sensation in my fingertip for several days... so that's my amateur pro trick; us a heat gun!

[@jaypers232]

Very informative!!!

[@EuroAutoEnthusiast]

Thanks for sharing this information and so cool to see @TruongMikeMai was able to come up and assist 👊🏽💯 Having removed the plenum to replace spark plugs before, it’s just a few more bolts to remove to get to and remove the actuators. Easy day for this DIY…I hope 😉🙌🏽

Mike is Goated! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
