Race German BMW E30 24V Swap Throttle Cable – Genuine BMW

Performing an M50, M52, S50, or S52 24V engine swap into your BMW E30? The Race German E30 24V Swap Throttle Cable is one of those small but essential components that makes your engine swap easier, cleaner, and more reliable.

Rather than modifying your original E30 throttle cable or struggling to make an E36 cable work, this solution uses a Genuine BMW throttle cable originally designed for the E34 5 Series equipped with the M50 engine.

This factory BMW cable provides an excellent fit for E30 24-valve engine conversions, eliminating the hassle of adapting cables that weren't designed for your swapped engine setup.

Because this is a Genuine BMW component, you get factory-quality construction, smooth throttle operation, and the reliability you'd expect from original BMW hardware.

Important Installation Note – Throttle Pedal Stop Adjustment

When installing a new throttle cable, it's extremely important to check and properly adjust the throttle pedal stop inside the vehicle.

The accelerator pedal should contact the pedal stop just before or at the point where the throttle reaches its fully open position.

If the pedal continues traveling after the throttle is fully open, excessive tension can be placed on the throttle cable, linkage, and throttle body components. Over time, this can cause premature cable stretching, damage, or failure.

Always verify full throttle operation and adjust the pedal stop as needed before driving. Make sure the throttle opens fully without overextending the cable and returns smoothly to the closed position.

BMW E30 24V Swap Fitment Guide

This throttle cable is intended for BMW E30 chassis vehicles that have been converted to an M50, M52, S50 US, or S52 US 24-valve engine with a compatible mechanical throttle body.

Important: This is an engine-swap application, not a direct factory replacement for stock E30 engines. Fitment depends on the engine, throttle body, linkage, pedal configuration, and cable routing. Verify compatibility before ordering.
