Performance Gains / Why It’s Needed
Factory throttle actuators on S85 engines are prone to failure due to weak internal gears and stressed electronics. When they fail, the car goes into limp mode and displays DSC and EML warnings. Evolve’s uprated actuators replace all vulnerable components with stronger versions, ensuring long-term reliability even under demanding driving conditions. This prevents costly breakdowns and restores confidence in your M5 or M6.
