Nice and thorough vid! Just had my 328 go into limp mode and came across your video. My throttle body was sticking shut a bit ( the car doesn't get used much) so I think some cleaner and start there. I had both rubber boots between the mass airflow sensor and the body split too which won't have been helping!

I have a 99 328i and it only goes into limp mode when I put the pedal all the down but once it's into limp mode I have to constantly turn it on and off until it goes away and my check engine light will go completely off and it drives fine certain times. The only thing I could think it could be is battery is done and it can't pull enough power for car to maintain as I've recently got oil change and oil service reset as I thought it was that but nope. Any help is really appreciated 🙏

If you think it may be the battery, you should be able to have an advance auto, auto zone, or oriellys do a battery test. They can also check to see if any engine codes are thrown. That will help troubleshoot the problem. 👍

Just curious, shouldn't the throttle body valve open a bit more than that when accelerating?

2011- 323i. The automatic transmission stopped working last night. I pulled up at a traffic light and when the light changed I tried to accelerate and the car would not move. Just before this happened I heard a pop and thought a tire had burst. The car will not go forward or reverse. Had to get the car towed. No warning lights or engine codes and the car was running fine up to the stop light. Any ideas of what the problem could be ?

Strange. Not sure what could be wrong if you checked the same stuff so showed in the video. Only thing I can suggest is to check all systems related to P1635 and P0341. I’d look for ways to test components one at a time instead of just replacing parts that may not be bad. Falling into that trap will set you back loads of $$$ and possible still not fix the root cause.

Does it matter which pin u connect the alligator clamps? Is there specific side for negative or positive?

DSC is BMW's dynamic stability control. In the e46, this will actually decrease throttle when the ECU detects wheel slippage. You can read more about it here: www.bmwblog.com/2009/02/06/what-is-and-how-dsc-works/

Also make sure all your vacuum lines are good.
