Hi guys
Got another little problem with the car ,jumped in it today and the throttle pedal kept getting stuck (sticking) ,I sprayed some dw40 on a few points but didn't do anything, do I need a new throttle cable and how much would it cost from bmw .
Thanks

The inner cable tends to wear a groove in the liner over time, and/or the cable has been known to fray at the engine end, but check things like the mats or dash under tray aren't jamming it before diving in.
I don't think the cable is extortionate from BMW, but it is, or at least, was available from the likes of CP4L or GSF as well.
