Also got a call--$595 for part, $700 total installed--I'll pass. I called them several months ago regarding an exhaust system for my car, so I'm on their list for when they release E60 parts. They said the 545i exhaust prototype was finished and they're waiting for parts to begin production, expected availability around a month.

What exactly does a 'throttle body' do?

it's connected to your intake manifold and it has a butterfly inside the opens and closes as you accelerate/decelerate allowing air flow in. someone have pics maybe?

How does replacing the throttle body work with a Valvetronic engine? I thought the point of Valvetronic engines was that they did not have a throttle butterfly and the valve lift was what determined the amount of air flow.
