Z3 throttle cable replacement

[Richard_UK]

I recently purchased a 2000 MY Z3 convertible 2.0 litre manual RHD with a stiff accelerator pedal. I’ve managed to get my hand on the throttle body to check the butterfly is moving normally and am pretty sure the problem is the throttle cable. I’ve watched a couple of YouTube videos on changing the cable, but mine looks particularly buried in the engine. Just wondering whether anyone else has replaced the cable on a MY 2000 Z3 convertible 2.0 litre?
Thanks in advance,
Richard

There is a You Tube on the manual cable . ( maybe 2 of them) Fairly well done but spends most time on the inside of car, no information on the adjustment side.

This PDF covers the adjustment of the cable at the throttle body.
