TPS is throttle position sensor error.. Did you just install the JB and got this right away?

@ mike, I had the problem with sensor before I brought my vehicle to BMW dealer he reset system via idrive then it came back before installing jb4.

@bmw-nc, I guess that could be traction controll light but I am deffinetly not loosing traction at all this happens doing a sprint and I do have xmodel as well do you guys usually disable traction controll??

Thanks for the quick responses and input I love this forum!!

first of all, gather some miles on your car. The full power is not available until the car determines it is broken in. Cannot pinpoint it, maybe someone else knows. 5-6k miles? or 3-4? Whichever way, drive! Also, get some SUper Plus or other high octane pump gas. I dunno if your gas card will cover it, but some ESSO have nice 100 Octane gas. If you ever are up in the Baumholder area, look me up and we go driving.
