What is wrong
The throttle cable's tube (outer casing) contains a bend that leads to increased loading of the inner cable, causing it to break.
The risk
Breakage of the inner cable would cause loss of throttle control, causing the engine to return or remain at idle. Loss of throttle control could cause an accident.
The fix
BMW dealers will replace the throttle cable.
