To recalibrate the throttle position on a BMW E46, you will need to enter the vehicle and activate the ignition. While doing so, ensure to depress the brake pedal and keep it pressed while starting the engine. At this stage, only the car's accessory functions should be activated. Once this occurs, press the gas pedal as well. Maintain pressure on the pedal for approximately 20 seconds, then release it, and switch off the engine to finalize the recalibration process. If you encounter difficulties with these steps, refer to your vehicle's manual for a detailed explanation of each procedure, including a guide on how to reset the throttle position sensor.
