I paid $350 each and they were received in good condition (it took 6 working days though; Hartford, CT)... Their # is 1 800 235 8733. I was quoted $671 from bimmer.com, if that helps. Ciao

How much did you pay for the used DK motors? And also can you provide contact info stockton auto?

Depends on what you mean. If you want to just pull off the throttle housing (that would be with the four 10mm bolts to the intake manifold), spraying carburator cleaner on the thing to get all the carbon out of it is ok and will probably be good. I was stupid enough to think I could pull the motor assembly apart and after several attempts to get them working I called stockton auto in Ca and got two used ones. (yes that means I f**cked up BOTH of them). I have since found a post at bmwseven.com regarding this issue and I will be looking to bring my wayward throttle units back to life. More to follow... In short, unless they're dead, don't mess with them, beyond the aforementioned uninvasive cleaning...
