    M62 throttle body

    I am looking to upgrade the stock throttle body on my '97 840CI to something that will provide better throttle response.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    If you want better throttle response/faster, Have your ECU reflashed and your EGS, If it's a early 07, You can Upgrade the trans chip which pretty much matches the ECU Flash upgrade, Transforms the car into a much more spirited machine, Easily reversible as well.

    Two years ago I removed the old dif and put in the 3.15 dif. I think after doing what you suggest the car should feel just about right for what it is.

    Where would one buy the transmission chip from?
