Where is the throttle body located on a BMW e60?

[VanAbel]

BMW e60 throttle body is located on the left side of the engine. Function of throttle body: It controls the engine's air intake flow, acting as a controllable valve that determines the engine's operating conditions by regulating air entry into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, air mixes with gasoline to form combustible mixture gas for combustion and power generation. The driver operates the throttle opening by pressing the accelerator pedal. Principle of throttle body: In traditional engines, the throttle control mechanism works via a cable or rod connecting the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage plate. Electronic throttle bodies primarily use throttle position sensors to adjust the throttle opening angle based on engine power demand, thereby regulating the intake air volume.
