Wanted Stuffed/Broken/Failed M52TU throttle body (MDK)

[NZ00Z3 187]

When someone wants a broken part, you know that something odd is going on.

If you have owned a BMW with the M52TU engine, you'll probably know that the throttle body (MDK)  is one temperamental beast.  I'm doing a deep dive on the MDK and working on a test procedure for it.  The final result will be shared with the BMW community.

There are 2 BMW's in my collection with the M52TU engine, but both MDK are working (thankfully).  I need a couple of broken ones to check my test procedure on as well as dissect when they are of no longer use.

So, I'm looking for a couple of "free to a good home" broken MDK's.  Happy to pay for the shipment cost to Timaru.

Do you have one in your parts pile that you're willing to donate?
