F/S Grinded stock E55 throttle body

My car is heading back to stock form. The throttle body was on the car for 3k miles. It works fine and is in good condition. Loctite was applied to the set screws. Asking $100.

Out of curiosity, could you tell any real difference from stock? I'm tryign to see if the results this would make it worth the effort to install.

Thanks,
Todd

It's literally take you five minute to swap out the tb. Very good price.

There is a definite improvement in throttle response. I was a little skeptical at first but I have to say that I was beyond satisfied with how the car responded to the "mod".

I caught hell trying to disconnect the tb cable from the tb the 1st time without destroying the connector but after that it was a breeze. Thanks for the props on the price.

I did the grind myself. I used my little dremel rotary grinder. Search tb grind and you'll see how easy it is to diy. It is very close to 78mm after the grind based on a thread I read.
