I'm glad everything worked out for you at the end. I'm here to help in any way. I also let a few other people burrow a unit to test in their cars for free. Unfortunately, they haven't sent them back yet nor are they responding to my phone calls. I just don't understand how people can be so unethical. Nonetheless, thanks for sending my units back.

You didn't take deposits from them? And a CC number in case they don't return it?

No. I didn't. lol. I didn't have any reason not to trust them. Two of the places are Euro shops. I'm having the urge to just write a negative review on Google. Maybe then I'll get their attention. Let's see. Hopefully they show up.

Yeesh, raw deal on the unreturned actuators Abdul...

In any event I replaced my gears at around 70k before I got any warning lights and they've been going strong since, but should the dreaded specter of electronics failure rear its head I will be sure to take advantage of your services!

Thanks Jason and Abdul

Nothing but first class service and great communication between Abdul. The Actuators were exactly as promised and come with a life-time warranty. Awesome service and fast shipping. Glad to see this service is available to the brave soles who decided to hang on to their cars past the BMW warranty period. I will be recommending M power motorsports to anybody in need of actuators.

Thanks for the review! Glad you loved our product and service.

I ordered and received my actuators within a few days as promised. Install went very well and all error codes immediately went away....hopefully for good. Thank you MPowerMotorsports for offering these upgraded actuators at a good price!

I’ve had my actuators in for over a month now without any issue. It’s such a relief to have the lifetime warranty as well so I know I’ll never have to deal with them again. Abdul was a pleasure to work with and he helped me a lot. He got me the actuators in time for me to have them installed before I moved and he waived one of my core charges so I could order them earlier. I’m so happy I had this done with MPowerMotorsports and I wouldn’t ever do it again with anyone else! Highly recommend for anyone with actuator issues!!

Just ordered a rebuilt throttle actuator from Abdul. Ready to get this repair under way. Thanks to everyone on the site for sharing the related info!

Reporting after close to 10 months of the actuators installed and they are working perfectly. i drove the car a lot this summer and have now put about 10-11k km on them and not one single time was there a hiccup or did i notice the slight sluggishness of old and tired units (as was the case before replacement etc).

it also was a hot summer and i pushed her regularly on long trips, so rest assured the actuators got worked plenty. this reminds me, after much research on the topic a german article from a track rat who runs on the ring regularly said it is common knowledge among ze german bimmer folk to lubricate the ITB linkages and bearings once a year or so, as that appears to be one of the leading causes of the units prematurely failing in the first place (other than the mediocre oem built quality). the lubricants evaporate in the heat of being housed deep within the v and covered up, and dust also is a cause. so far i have done my actuators twice and every time the linkages were squeaky dry though i had lubricated them with "permanent" lubricants prior.

so anyone who is going through this headache bare in mind this preventative maintenance.

I just finished the throttle actuator repair on my M with 148k now and Abdul was very helpful. He went above and beyond to assist me when my car went down. Everything was solved within a week. Thanks abdul! 10/10 would recommend.

Cant tell you how thankful I am for finding this forum thread!! Was about to spend $1200+ on the FCP Euro TA's lifetime warranty. After reading Jason's and Abdul's comments and reviews no question I'll be ordering today! Thanks everyone.

I am happy with the throttle actuators I purchased from M Power Motorsports. On Christmas evening 2020, the dash on my m3 lit up like a Christmas tree and I immediately knew it was my throttle actuators going out. Having been a long-time M3post member I have heard very good things about M Power Motorsports and Abdul.

Abdul took the time to call me during the busy holiday weekend to walk me through the process. Although, I did have some trouble getting delivery updates I completely understood because of the busy holiday season as well as COVID. Throttle actuators came with great packaging.

Your throttle actuators WILL go out, DO NOT wait until they do! Save money and have the peace of mind with a lifetime warranty that you will always be covered by Abdul and M Power Motorsports.

On the website, it shows $360. Is that for a single, or a pair? Core says $200. Again, per unit or total core cost?

Thanks

Edit: I see it says core $200 PER UNIT. Is the $360 cost per unit or the pair?

If it were per pair they would owe you $40 for fixing your TA’s and that makes no sense. Logic says it’s $360 each with $200 back for core. This brings you to $160 per actuator repair after all is said and done. So $320 plus tax & shipping after both core credits.
