Throttle Body, VDO - E39 540i, E38 740i, X5 4.4i 99-03

If you are experiencing rough running, poor idle, throttle surges, or other drivability issues it could be from a bad drive-by-wire throttle body. This is the OEM DBW throttle body for 1999-2003 E39 540i, E38 740i/iL, and E53 X5 4.4i. Since the throttle body controls are electronic there is nothing that can be repaired in your garage (unless you're an electrical engineer). Replacement of the M62TU V8 throttle body is the best course of action.

This is an OEM 540i/740i/X5 throttle body manufactured by VDO - the original supplier to BMW for this part, as well as many other engine electronics. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
