That's an interesting one! If the throttle still doesn't work, I think you have no choice but to replace it. I have a used one for a 4.4i motor, but I think the 3.0i is different.

Without further information, I'm assuming the 255! readings indicate a problem with the optics. If I initialize the RLS in my 530i (which came with RLS), the sensor will work for awhile in the...

I'm not sure wht FL_bix it?

This sensor thing is certainly weird. I swapped the modules between my 02 530i and the x5 with strange results. First, it seems like it's best to mount the module...
