I'm chill. Too chill. Last night I was too hot, at about 103 degrees give or take. I thought I was having fun. Must have taken forever to type that.
Ahh...that explains your delusions!
:bigok:
I'm just kidding. Hope you feel better.

I realize there are other vehicles that have this "feature", but there are many, many vehicles which don't... And there isn't any mass outrage.
At the end of the day, why is this engine so special that it needs throttle body temperature regulation?

Engineers don't usually waste shareholder money by designing in parts where there's no reason for doing so. Maybe (and this is pure speculation) it's that the environmental performance envelope that was the design target exceeds that of the typical many, many vehicle. You know, all those videos of Rovers driving on the Arctic ice cap, and stuff like that. Stuff that most will never need. OTOH, very few will need a locking center diff, either. But it's part of the performance reputation that is promoted for the vehicle.
It's been over 2 years since I last logged in. Merely a coincidence my TBH is puking and I run into this gem of a thread.....

BMW had buckets of those in all the e30's around the same time they developed the THOR system for the D2. Believe me there was no real thinking they were just using what they had already in their tool box. Move ahead a few years and these heaters have all been put out to pasture on modern cars.At the end of the day, why is this engine so special that it needs throttle body temperature regulation?
