What header do you have? What brand / who made it?

Please get ride of the L O2 anti-foul thing. Your O2 sensor should absolutely fit with a proper made header. If you have a cheap OBX or eBay header that could be your problem.

Have you used a BMW tool like BavTech to clear the hard coded 2096 yet? If you have you also need to reset the "adaptive's". Cheap autozone Pep-boys Scanner can't do these functions or clear hard codes stored in memory. They will just keep coming back after you clear them because they are not cleared.

 

As one that has used these race cats, they don't last. I get about 30k miles out of one before it's all been blown out the back.

 

Whoo hoo

Make sure drive a a good while, 30 miles or so you car is in a ready status for testing.

 

Excellent & Congrats

 

Well that is good news for sure.

 

Just finished pulling the the Dyna Flow exhaust down, fixed the resonator and sealed the whole shebang. put in a new rear OEM 02 sensor.
I disconnected the battery overnight, thinking that would clear the P2096 code. reconnected the battery, Didn't start the car, plugged in my code reader and the code is still pending,^%$#$@#E%. anybody have one of those Bav Tech tools around here?

PS, P2096 code is all I got, but it will fail me.
I up against the emissions wall.

 

I certainly appreciate that offer Dave. I want to take you up on it as soon as I can. Just found a cracked hose, the little one that plugs in the side of the hose from the air box to the throttle body and runs back under the intercooler. Going to pull the intercooler tonight and fix it.
So if I can get this done tonight can I run up tomorrow?
