Resetting the throttle position on a BMW E46 requires You to enter the car and turn the ignition on. When doing so, make sure to put Your foot on the brake and push it down when turning the ignition on. At this point, only the cars accessories should have booted up. When this happens, push down the accelerator as well. Hold it down for roughly 20 seconds and then release the accelerator and turn off the car, to complete the reset. If Youre having trouble doing this procedure, consult Your owners manual. It should contain a detailed breakdown of each step, as well as a walk-through to reset the throttle position sensor.

To reset the BMW throttle position sensor, you turn on the ignition without your foot on the brake, so the engine doesn't start. Press the accelerator on the floor for 15 seconds. Release the accelerator, then turn the car off and start the engine and drive.
