TPS Sensor

My 2003 Z4 3.0i recently was in limp mode. After poking around online and cleaning the maf sensor, I came to believe the Throttle Position Sensor was the culprit. Long story short I'm not sure where the TPS is located on the throttle body or how to access it. I've removed the intake piping and disa valve and I am not sure how to proceed from here. I purchased a replacement TPS sensor but I'm not sure how to go about replacing them. If this doesn't fix the issue I'm not sure what I'll do. Last resort I can have a mechanic look at it

Thanks in advance

If it were an ///M, I could tell you, having just done it myself.

Look it up on realoem and you'll see what it looks like and roughly where it lives.
