Large (65mm) Drive By Wire Throttle Body?
I'm looking at going Drive By Wire with my engine and currently have a 65mm throttle body.
I can draw up an adaptor plate on CAD and have it CNC'd so i'm not too bothered about the origin but I do need to find a 65mm (or very similar) sized DBW throttle body.
Ideally, i'd like something that's pretty common so that spares/replacements can be sourced quickly and without meaning I need to sell myself either for parts or services
Any ideas?

Team HOTHOT!
BMW E39 540i and E38 740 - post 98 cars are DBW and the TB is over 65mm iirc - I'll measure mine tomorrow if you want as I have to take the inlet manifold off to change it
