Is this the correct throttle cable routing?
I followed it through from when I took it off, but wanted to check as you never know.

On the throttle arm there's two positions, either on the outer or inner arm, I've gone for inner, again following where it was

Interesting question. Mine was set like your picture but when I fitted a new throttle cable it seemed a more natural route ( when throttle open ) to use the other slot at the cable end. I have looked at loads of pictures and there doesn't seem to be a common answer. Need BMW service engineer expert guidance please??

Hey. Yeah, seen quite a lot of pictures, but nothing to sway either way. I know one of the slots is for the cruise control cable, but as to which one goes where??
Hopefully someone will have the answer.
