Sorry to dredge this back up, but the same thing is happening in my 07. They thought it was the intelligent battery cable, but $300 later it did it to me again. Does anyone know if the throttle body bulletin covers the 2007?

I don't remember the bulletin mentioning anything about 2007 models but it doesn't hurt to try the fix. The part is fairly cheap and it only takes about 30 minutes to do if you want to DIY it. I recommend getting some good quality butt splices to connect the new harness (unless you plan to solder the harness) because the ones BMW provides are complete junk.

Hmm, well I'm taking it back to the shop today and I'll have them do it, since I'm $300 in the hole to them already, so I'll argue that they do a peek-a-boo gratis.

So (I initially posted this), I am back to this same issue again.
Now on another throttle body and maybe spinning my wheels here.

Can you tell me what end of the harness did you have replaced?
