Hi Kurt

The DK motors are located at the front of each intake manifold. It's a "big" unit with a electric connector. I can't walk out to the garage and give you a better description as I still don't own one yet...:( Also the DK motor on the left side of the engine room is actually for the right bank. The intake manifold is very long and are crossed. There really isn’t any diagnostics you can do to the DKs, they work or they don't. On a preventive maintenance they can be cleaned though to prevent sticking and a potential failure due to this. I think it was Stan or Steve who mentioned a good method of cleaning these.

I also find it amusing that this technology from the 750i & 850i has finally worked it's way down to the 3 series, as did ASC+T, window sealing, DSC, +++

Regards
Carl
