WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 34 other vehicles, including the 2001 BMW Z8, 2001 BMW Z3, 2001 BMW X5, 2001 BMW M5, and 2001 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Following adjustment procedure is for Z3 models, but may apply to other models.
  1. To adjust first idling position, loosen hexagon nut on pedal value sensor. Create.011" (.3 mm) gap between accelerator pedal shaft and idle stop. Tighten hexagon nut on pedal value sensor. Support lever on pedal value sensor while tightening.
  2. To adjust full load position on manual transmission, actuate accelerator pedal as far as kickdown pressure point in pedal value sensor. In this position, adjust screw to bear on the accelerator pedal and lock it.
  3. On automatic transmission vehicles, operate accelerator pedal as far as kickdown pressure point in pedal value sensor. In this position, adjust screw to have.19" (5 mm) distance between knurled head screw and accelerator pedal. Lock stop screw.
  4. After adjusting, check pedal value sensor with BMW service tester or MoDiC. Switch ignition on. Move accelerator pedal to full load stop. Compare actual voltage value with the specified value. Move accelerator pedal to idling stop. Compare actual voltage value with the specified value. Correct adjustment if necessary. See PEDAL VALUE SENSOR VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
