1. Did a stomp test on it to determine the cause of a CEL/warm rough running/misfire condition.
2. Found it to be code 1252 "fuel injectors"
3. Bought some CRC electrical contact cleaner and some dielectric grease.
4. Went to inspect/clean the C101 under the intake - found it to look okay, cleaned it anyway, and found that the half mounted to the metal bracket thingy was not mounted properly - such that when it was connected, it was not a 100% tight fit. Remedied that, hit the contacts with some dielectric grease and snugged it up.
5. fired it up - ran it well past the point where I had been having the problem and it ran like a charm. Hoping I found and fixed my problem.
6. Ordered a new center emblem for my steering wheel and a cheap Chinese knock off wheelskins kit on eBay.Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3

Over the past few days:
1. Replaced front sway bar end links - Completely worn out.
2. Replaced tie rod end bolts - both were stripped and clunking because they couldn't be tighted
3. Replaced Oil Control Valve - Completely stopped leaking oil!!!!
Easy but PITA job at the same time - nothing like laying on your back with a spring loaded cover and a spring clip pointed at your head.
4. Passed Va Safety and Emissions Inspections on the first try!
Now Road Legal! - I bought the car about 2 months ago and have been working on it to make it a weekend car / nice weather DD. Hope to start driving it to work a few times a week now that it's a bit cooler (no AC...yet).
