Two distinct accelerator types were introduced with the BMW E30, corresponding to early and late model versions. However, determining which version is installed in a particular vehicle can sometimes be ambiguous.
Typically,an EarlyModel Accelerator Pedal assembly looked like the following image. Thecorresponding part number for this particular item is 35411118210.In fact, these pedals were also found in the E23, E24 and E28.
If theabove accelerator pedal does not suit your model, than you likely have the LateModel Accelerator Pedal with a part number 35411156488.Both of these models are only slightly different but critical you select theright version for your BMW. It’s interesting to note that this late modelversion is only suitable for the E30 platform.
Replacement is a straight forward affair but be warned, there are other issues that are associated with the accelerator pedal that may be of concern once you dig deeper.
Firstly, Rust. Yes,the most dreaded word for BMW Enthusiasts alike.

Luckily, we do stock parts to make these repairs easier for either yourself or your panel beater. Jump across to see to see available Rust Panels for both Driver’s & Passenger sides.
Secondly, a worn rubber grommet throttle cable bush that connects your accelerator pedal to the throttle cable is the culprit for issues like unresponsive throttles – if you haven’t replaced it on your classic BMW, then chances are it will need replacing!
