The factory plastic gears in BMW S65 and S85 throttle body actuators are notorious for premature wear due to mechanical stress, engine vibration, and heat cycling. Over time, this wear leads to excessive play, throttle response issues, and eventual failure. This can cause DME fault codes, limp mode, and DSC malfunctions. While replacing both throttle actuators is costly, even new OEM units will eventually suffer the same fate.
Thankfully, ECS has developed the ultimate solution for E9X M3, E60 M5, and E63/64 M6 owners! These Upgraded Throttle Body Actuator Gears are constructed of Teflon-reinforced nylon, significantly reducing friction and gear tooth wear for long-term reliability. Each gear comes pre-installed on a 4140 steel shaft, strengthening the assembly and ensuring a hassle-free installation. With this cost-effective and durable fix, you can eliminate throttle actuator failures for good!
Features & Benefits:
Upgraded Teflon-reinforced nylon gears – Superior to factory plastic-on-plastic gears, reducing wear and extending lifespan. Pre-installed 4140 steel shafts – Increases durability and simplifies installation. Prevents common actuator failures – Resolves worn gear issues that cause CELs, limp mode, and DSC/DME errors. Cost-effective alternative to full actuator replacement – Saves hundreds in parts and labor. Factory-like fitment – Engineered for precise compatibility and long-term reliability. Built to withstand heat and mechanical stress – Ensures consistent throttle performance and extended service life.

Each gear comes pre-installed on a 4140 steel shaft, strengthening the assembly and preventing further failure.
Servicing the internals of S65 throttle body actuators can be a challenging task due to their intricate design. To simplify the process, ECS has developed a complete plug-and-play replacement kit. This kit includes two brand-new OEM Continental/VDO throttle body actuator assemblies, rebuilt with upgraded ECS gears and shafts for simplified installation and long-term durability. Unlike rebuilt actuators, this solution minimizes the risk of internal electrical failures, providing superior protection against common failure modes.
Features & Benefits:
Upgraded Teflon-reinforced nylon gears – Superior to factory plastic-on-plastic gears, reducing wear and extending lifespan. 4140 steel shafts – Increases durability and simplifies installation. Pre-installed inside OEM Actuators – Decreases install complexity and reduces the risk of electrical failure in rebuild units. Prevents common actuator failures – Resolves worn gear issues that cause CELs, limp mode, and DSC/DME errors. Cost-effective alternative to full actuator replacement – Saves hundreds in parts and labor. Factory-like fitment – Engineered for precise compatibility and long-term reliability.

Airflow efficiency and maximizing the potential of the stock intake design were the keys to development for the Dinan S65 intake. Dinan improves on the factory air box system by using a larger K&N filter combined with a precision molded carbon fiber intake tube. The increased amount of air feeds the engine and elicits a slightly more audible and sporty tone over its stock counterpart. Dinan claims 8hp and 5ft-lb torque gain with this kit.
For over 35 years, Dinan has been America's premier tuning company, pioneering advancements in BMW modification while retaining a focus on balanced performance that preserves the original character and driving feel that a BMW offers. When you install a Dinan part on your car, know that it's not only carefully developed and tested, but that Dinan stands behind it with a four year, 50,000-mile warranty. Dinan believes so fully in their “total package” approach that once your car has been fitted with enough of their parts, they celebrate your conversion from stock to Dinan with an exclusive trunk badge, displayed proudly by BMW enthusiasts everywhere. This intake is worth 3 points toward your Dinan badge.
Fitment note: Convertible models require modification to a factory chassis brace. Detailed instructions are included.
