What is wrong: The throttle cable's tube (outer casing) contains a bend that leads to increased loading of the inner cable, causing it to break.
Risk: Breakage of the inner cable would cause loss of throttle control, causing the engine to return or remain at idle. Loss of throttle control could cause an accident.
Remedy: Bmw dealers will replace the throttle cable.
