M42 E30 318is, can I use the throttle from E36 318ti
« on: October 14, 2021, 12:57:15 AM »
Hi, does the throttle from E36 318ti part no. 17273459 will fit to M42 E30? The throttle gasket at least is the same, however throttle itself for both car has different part number. I want to replace throttle body + TPS.
Any experiences?

If I remember correctly, the later ones are missing or have different vacuum ports. Look up the E30 and E36 throttle bodies on eBay and look at the photos to confirm. That is usually how I do it lol.
