update in the last couple months. Been busy.
So CEL and EML light came on for throttle position sensor. The one on the throttle actuator had a dead spot. Replaced both with genuine bmw sensors (replaced with VNE OE sensors last time from fcp euro which you could see the bmw logo scratched off, did a warranty claim and upgraded to genuine) must have had a faulty one from the start that was just ok enough for the DME to be like “meh it’s fine I guess” and never threw a code until now.
car rips now and hasn’t driven this good since all the shit started....except one issue.
IT STILL HAS THE DAMNED HARD START ISSUE. Other than that it’s perfect. I’m living with it at this point. I give up on the hard start/dies/starts second time BS lol.
