Direct-fit installation with identical mounting points and electrical connector to the original factory part - no modification, adapter, or machining required. High-strength aluminium alloy housing with anti-foul coated valve plate and FKM fluoroelastomer seals ensures long service life. Backed by a 6-month limited warranty.

1. Electronic Throttle Body - Precise Drive-by-Wire Control This is an electronic throttle body (drive-by-wire) with integrated throttle position sensor (TPS) and DC motor, precisely controlling air intake for BMW B46B20 2.0T Turbo Inline-4 / B58B30 3.0T Turbo Inline-6 Petrol engines based on accelerator pedal position and ECU commands for linear, smooth throttle response with zero lag or hesitation. Resolves common faults including rough idling, fluctuating idle speeds, hard starts, reduced power, and unexpected stalling - clearing P0120/P0121/P0122/P0123/P0220/P0221/P0222/P0223/P2119 throttle position sensor fault codes. Replaces BMW OE 13548601651 (cross-ref A3C0095100000, 8601651).

2. Exact OE Match - B46/B58 Turbo Only Precision direct-fit electronic throttle body for BMW 3 Series G20/G21 330i/330e (2019-2025), 4 Series G22/G23/G26 430i (2020-2025), 5 Series G30/G31 530i/530e (2017-2023), 7 Series G11/G12 740i B58 (2016-2022), 2 Series F22/G42 230i, Z4 G29 sDrive30i, X3 G01 xDrive30i (2017-2024), X4 G02 xDrive30i (2018-2024), X5 G05 xDrive40i B58 (2019-2025), X7 G07 xDrive40i with BMW B46B20 2.0T Turbo Inline-4 / B58B30 3.0T Turbo Inline-6 Petrol engines. 1:1 OE dimensions, OE connector, identical mounting points - no modification required. PETROL ONLY - not compatible with N20/N55 (older), diesel, or other engine variants. Verify original OE number before purchase.

3. Direct-Fit Installation - Save Time & Labour Identical form, fitment, and dimensions to the original factory BMW throttle body - no grinding, modification, or machining required. Installs directly onto your intake manifold with ease, using existing mounting bolts and electrical connector. Pre-calibrated at the factory to OE specifications - however, an OBD scan tool may be required to clear fault codes or perform throttle adaptation (OBD relearn / idle air volume learning) after installation on certain vehicle models with factory ECU programming protections.

4. Premium Materials & Precision Engineering - Built to Last High-strength aluminium alloy housing with excellent corrosion and heat resistance prevents warping and air leaks even under sustained high-temperature operation. The valve plate features a durable non-stick anti-foul coating that repels carbon deposits and oil residue, significantly reducing the need for frequent cleaning. Fitted with high-temperature fluoroelastomer (FKM) gaskets that resist oil vapour degradation, preventing ageing, oil seepage, and air leaks over extended use. Meticulously calibrated valve clearances eliminate issues such as incomplete closure, binding during operation, and sluggish return.

5. OE Quality at Aftermarket Value - 6-Month Warranty Manufactured to strict BMW OE specifications with dependable electronic precision, rapid signal feedback, solid high-heat tolerance, and anti-vibration capability - performing comparably to the genuine BMW throttle body (13548601651 / A3C0095100000) at a fraction of BMW main dealer cost. Backed by a 6-month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. For South African BMW owners - where 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, and X5 remain popular luxury vehicles and B46/B58 2.0T/3.0T Turbo electronic throttle body failure is a common cause of rough idling, reduced power, and failed emissions/roadworthy tests.

PETROL ONLY - VERIFY COMPATIBILITY: This electronic throttle body fits BMW 2/3/4/5/7 Series/Z4/X3/X4/X5/X7 with B46B20 2.0T Turbo Inline-4 / B58B30 3.0T Turbo Inline-6 Petrol engines (2017-2025), replacing BMW OE 13548601651 (cross-ref A3C0095100000, 8601651). PETROL ONLY - Exclusive for BMW B46B20 2.0T Turbo Inline-4 / B58B30 3.0T Turbo Inline-6 Petrol engines. NOT compatible with N20/N55 (older) / Diesel / other engine variants. Verify original OE number, engine code, and fuel system before purchase.

VERIFY OE NUMBER: Before making the purchase, please make sure that the OE number is correct. If the OE numbers do not match, they cannot be used together. This throttle body replaces BMW OE 13548601651 (cross-ref A3C0095100000, 8601651). Do NOT substitute with a different OE number throttle body (e.g. 13547588625 for N20 2.0T older, 13547806231 for N55 3.0T older) - they have different calibrations, connector types, and bore diameters and are NOT interchangeable.

OBD ADAPTATION / IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING MAY BE REQUIRED: Due to factory ECU programming protections on certain BMW vehicle models, an OBD scan tool may be required to clear fault codes or perform throttle adaptation (OBD relearn / idle air volume learning) after installation to ensure proper operation. This is a function of the vehicle's original software, not a product defect. Please confirm whether your vehicle requires OBD adaptation before placing your order. If OBD adaptation is required, an OBD tool must be purchased separately.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION: Recommended for proper torque on mounting bolts, correct intake manifold gasket seating, and clearing of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) / throttle adaptation after replacement. Allow engine to cool completely before servicing. Ensure the intake manifold mating surface is clean and free of old gasket material, carbon deposits, and oil residue before installation. Do not over-tighten mounting bolts.

WARRANTY: 6-month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Does not cover improper installation, drops, contamination, water ingress, use on incompatible vehicles/engines (N20/N55/Diesel/other variants), wrong OE number, modification, or normal wear. This is an aftermarket replacement part - not affiliated with or manufactured by BMW.
