BMW E30 Throttle Cable Bushing - Aluminium

BMW E30 THROTTLE CABLE BUSHINGS - BILLET ALUMINUM

Unlike other BMW chassis such as the E36 and E46, the e30 throttle cable isn't threaded. Instead, it uses a barb on the throttle cable and not threads. Well, we are proud to finally release a throttle cable bushing specific to E30's only!

This is meant for throttle cable bushings that look like this at the end:

 

With age, the E30 M20 & M10 OEM throttle cable bushing gets soft and spongy or outright crack letting the throttle cable sag. The throttle response gets worse since the cable must first straighten up before it starts to move the throttle plate. Replacing the worn bushings with the billet aluminum bushings eliminates cable sag to give a crisp throttle response. These are quick and simple upgrades that will wake up the way your engine revs. We recommend tightening the throttle cable and replacing it with a fresh throttle cable as well for best results.

These throttle cable bushings are designed to fit the following models: 

• E30s equiped with M10s and M20s

INSTRUCTIONS

QUICK TIP: ITS EASIER TO REPLACE THE BUSHINGS IF YOU REMOVE THE THROTTLE BODY FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD

Step 1: Unhook the throttle cable from the throttle body

Step 2: Unscrew the throttle cable from the factory bushing and carefully cut the old bushing off the cable

Step 3: Put the throttle cable through the aluminum bushing.

Step 4: Put the aluminum bushing through the throttle cable bushing bracket and secure it with the snap-ring provided

Step 5: Reinstall the throttle cable back on the throttle body and install it back on the intake manifold.

Step 6: Adjust the tension on the throttle cable till it's tight but still allows the throttle body to close without interference.
