DIY Throttle body

That's what I plan to do then. I couldn't find anything else about it. For fun I called a BMW service department and asked. They told me 800 bucks to program the throttle body. Wouldn't tell me what the programming consists of. Unreal. They charge insane amounts.
Two weeks ago I replaced my condenser and I needed the system recharged. Its a 15 min job. Called them to ask how much.... 600 dollars! Independent charge me 100. Still pricey, but I don't have a vacuum pump to evacuate the system.
Anyway, I'll give the reset a go. Should be good. Thanks.

In those cases I find a smaller shop. In my location there is one across from my neighborhood that can do AC work. Last time we took the Camry up there to find a leak they didn't even charge to vacuum/fill/add dye. There _are_ some good shops out there!
Solved. It's just a TB adaptation reset. I used MHD. Not sure why the manufacturer puts a "this part requires programming" on it. A simple "reset throttle body adaptation" notice would be better. There's actually a way to reset the TB without hooking up anything. Anyway, all good now.
