In this image you can see the plastic housing I am speaking of.


Also: I did a write up on how to take things apart to get to Valley Pan, but you can use the beginning of it to get to the throttle body. (It is really easy).

Pick and choose what to remove, DIY -> http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-n62-4-8l.html

The only think to add to this is; you will have to do a Throttle Body Adaptation. I don't know how to do that yet.

Good news everyone! Car is now fixed! Just swapped out the throttle body with a brand new one for $320. I've driven for about 50 miles and so far no codes or limp mode (it would usually pop up after a mile)! Just in the nick of time too seeing as how a huge snow storm is going to hit my area tonight.

Huge shout out to gregg3gs for the heads up!!!

Also gregg3gs, I used this procedure to reset my throttle
Throttle Body Adaptation Reset

Only sad thing to come out of this is I'm not going to be able to daily drive an exotic anymore
