Why upgrade your BMW M3 throttle actuators
The S65 throttle actuator commonly fails due to premature wear of the internal gears which then overloads the electronics. Symptoms often appear after a few minutes of driving and include limp mode with DSC and EML lights on the dash. Common diagnostic trouble codes are 2B15 Throttle Valve Actuator Bank 1 and 2B16 Throttle Valve Actuator Bank 2. Replacing with another standard unit risks the same failure. These Evolve uprated throttle actuators are rebuilt with higher-rated components to eliminate the weak points and restore fault-free performance.
