BMW had a problem with accelerator pedal modules sticking esp. when
hot. I think there was a service bullitin. NO recall. the ony way to
fix it is replace the pedal module, that is if the car has the "fly-by-
wire" system. it's easy to check, if there is a black box under the
pedal you have the electronic version. if you have a pedal with a
metal bracket with a metal bar that goes up into the dash you have a
cable driven throttle. hope this helps .

My E46 330 accelerator pedal linkage seems in need of lubrication making it
difficult for smooth starts with the auto box. Is it able to be lubricated?
The car just had an inspection service before I bought it but this was
obviously overlooked.
