Car looks hella shiny! I'm feeling ya on breakdowns. My F83 just blew ONE adaptive damper. SD BMW charged $2,200 for ONE damper replace. I still can't believe it..only 30k on the car! Thank you extended warranty 💥
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 🙌
@@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!
I’ve had a check engine light with increased emissions on my e90 m3 for about a month now but car drives perfectly fine. Revs to 8300 like normal: nothing wrong with it. I assume it was an 02 sensor or something. Idk.
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
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.
I am very close to get m3 but I am also concern what will happened with petrol cars in near future? I don't want to spend a lot of money and in a moment be forced by the system to own an electric car.
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
Sorry to hear about that. With TA’s; best to buy them new and replace, rather than refurbish.
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
love the augmented defuser and rear spoiler. your m3 looks way more mega.
Right! Changes the whole look of the car and makes it 100x more aggressive
Sorry to hear man! You’ll get this thing back in shape in no time I know it 🙏
Thanks man 🙏

That would happen to me all the time when I’d refule too. Always from winter to summer or summer to winter.
you never had any actual issues with the car? it just went into limp mode and gave you temporary codes?
Unfamiliar w this platform... I miss your F82! Had it been F82 related.. I could have told you anything you ever needed to know!
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 any update?
Spoiler and diffuser look so sick!!!
Thanks!

Turn it off and on 4/5 times and it will start up regular and no check engine light. Could be battery
we checked battery and it read fine. Wish it was a low battery over the TA’s 😢
How many miles were on this m3 when you bought it..I'm looking at a 30k mile M4 f82
This one had under 80k miles. And 30k miles is great on an M4!
Throttle actuator / throttle body fault. Need to replace throttle actuators, big job.
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?

That day won’t come anytime soon. Get yourself a petrol 😎
When I saw your dash lights and the errors at the beginning of the video. Plus it being on limp mode. I knew it was T/As

You give me a Kyle from boostedboiz vibe for some reason lol
Haha i’ll take it!
1:41 😂😂😂
stupid garage door lol
just got a 2020 440i
Aye! Congrats B58’s are amazing
@@AutomotiveTherapy Thanks, but yeah now i am all in on the culture, will comment on everything here now
Dang...these vids make me want an M3 less lol. Hope you fix it soon, for reasonable price.
Thats why i do not buy this modern computer-on-wheels type of car
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
Need some coding
We used protools and got the codes in the video
Mish mash video. Focus on the m3. Apart for that all ok
