                Looks good, I would recommend buying your stuff from blunttech.com instead of bavauto.

                          right once i thought i was done...

                          well CEL came on, blinked i hit the gas went away.
                          So i do stomp test, and were looking at code 1222 which is the lambda thing:( worst one. Ugh!
                          So i went back and checked the vacuum lines, they all appear to be good... tightened them down a bit also..
                          Coolant system is bled..
                          Pushed oil dipstick holder all the way down.. i realized it wasnt all the way down..
                          ... still spits the code.
                          The car surges idle from 600-1000 then after its warm 600-800ish... at idle
                          For now plans are fuel pressure, leak down test... and while im at it compression also.
                          Anyone have any insight on what else i could check for now?

                            So an update for you guys, my idle surges.. for some dumb ass reason. But i unplugged the icv and it goes away. Plug it back in and it starts doing it again... hmm.. so i got carb n choke cleaner and put it in.. cleaned it... and one she went. Started her up again and same thing.. unplug no idle surge plug in.. still bounces.. SMH

                            Also, checked the o2 seems to be working good.
                            Unplug AFM sensor car dies...
                            and the main thing that bothers me is... TAKE OIL CAP OFF AND THE CAR DIES... DA FAQ IS THIS???? Suggestions?

                              Well some good news.. i took the vaccum hose out of the brake booster and the covered it with my finer, car idled amazing.. so then i ordered a new one from bmw, and got it in today.. put the new brake booster gasket piece on for the vaccum hose, and she runs amazing. No codes yet.. lets hope that this is how she stays.
