    e34 525i cable

    Have also heard some people have success with the stock e30 cable.

      I used an e36 throttle and cruise cable. the e34 one I used was too short.

      '87 325ic, powered by S50.

          what exactly is too short?

          I had to trim the rubber bushing where it mounts on the throttle body for it to fit properly
