What throttle body is this?

[Myricale36]

So I took my throttle body off to replace it because it was sticking. And seen the valve looks different then my new one. The bores seem to be the same on both throttle bodies. Just different valves?

That is not OEM. who did you buy that from and what did they tell you about it. I'm not saying it won't fit on an e36 but just a glance at that pic and it looks like if it fits onto an e36 it would be an m(2 or s52. Because of the way the throttle cable attaches to the bottom.

A few more pics from a few inches further away would help. You can't see the whole unit and you can't see any other sides

its the one that came on my car, and its exactly like the one that i replaced it with, that came of another M50. The only difference is the actual valves.

What valves ? There are no valves on a throttle body and since we can't see the other one we can't see what is different. Better pics please

I meant the part that says "performance by design". Sorry.

The throttle plate inside of the throttle body is what I believe he is referring to

I remember seeing them on eBay a few years ago but not anymore.

Haha. Guess i should've kept researching a but farther. Thanks for that! I guess I'll mess with it to see if I can get it to stop sticking.
