If this works it might mean we all should check and cleanup the actuator?
I consider the x5 like a plane one needs to inspect and service to avoid in flight issues 😁

Well,
some of us have gone down the route of eliminating oil getting into the intake ->

I'd suspect that oil gets there through boost leaking (very minor, but builds up over time) through the shaft so it's quite challenging to fix.
As far as disassembling the throttle and cleaning it, I don't know if it can be done and being able to put it back together.
