Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 English language pwns you But try spray some Dry-Glide into the accelerator cable near the pivot ( sorry don't really know the right word) and if not,maybe a small bit of lube behind the pivot on the acc pedal itself? Have no idea what the Muffer part is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjs 64 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I think the factory may have made it stiff for a reason. Not everyone can handle the brutal thrust of a 320i at kickdown... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have no idea what the Muffer part is... yeah what he said, just lube up the outer lip a bit and slide it in, slide it in and out a few times though to be sure.

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 make sure you use water based lube though, oil based can cause irritation and also cause the rubber to break Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
