Throttle Controler for 2001 LS430?
Hey everyone. Recently I got to drive a 2001 BMW 740iL with sport package. The most I liked how responsive its throttle is. Googling a throttle controler for LS found Apexi and Blitz systems but for 2004-06 LS'. Is there an application for 01-03?
Thanks.
Thanks.

In 01-03 Power Mode simply lets you hold a particular gear longer and put engine in little red line RPM. It does not affect throttle response. In 04-06 LS' power mode does affect transmission responsiveness in addition to longer gear hold yet does not affect throttle response.

On my 2002, changing the ECT switch from Normal to Power results in an instant and very noticeable increase in throttle sensitivity, in addition to holding gears longer and shifting closer to the redline.
The owner's manual says: "In the power mode, the transmission is shifted up at higher vehicle speeds and shifted down more responsively than in the normal mode". This tells us that the transmission responsiveness is also increased (at least for downshifts).
That being said, perhaps you can find a way to hack the Blitz or Apexi controllers into working with your car.
