The S85 throttle actuator is a known OEM weak point, and the design has been a problem from day one. In our experience the failure rate of OEM units is 100% — every one fails eventually. When it goes, the engine drops into limp mode with the DSC and EML lights lit on the cluster, throwing:
- 2B15 – Throttle Valve Actuator Bank 1
- 2B16 – Throttle Valve Actuator Bank 2
Our Upgraded OEM+ rebuilt actuator fixes this for good. We replace every internal component with higher-rated parts so the unit outlasts the car — and we back it with an UNLIMITED MILES LIFETIME WARRANTY.
What we do to each unit:
- Gears upgraded to superior materials
- All MOSFETs replaced
- Transistors and capacitors checked; voltage regulators, microprocessor, and serial EPROM tested or replaced
Note: priced each. The S85 uses two actuators (one per bank) — order the quantity you need.
Fits: E6X M5/M6 (S85)
Warranty:
- Unlimited miles lifetime warranty
- Labor warranty up to $200 if a shop has to redo the job
Core charge: A $300 core charge per unit is added at checkout. It is a refundable deposit — send us your old unit and we refund it. See the warranty-replacement listing for the full core and warranty process.
