This morning went to pick up some parts I had purchased online from a local BMW dealer, one of which was the new MAP sensor. (Manifold absolute pressure) Got home, plugged it in and cleared the codes. It started up like a charm and no more Engine Failure code! :-) Simplest fix yet on a BMW.....(for me at least). Popped in a new air filter and cleaned up the engine bay a bit.

This morning also ordered a set of replacement shocks for the rear AD units. In the next week or so I will install them and that should hopefully take care of the active suspension faults.

Also this morning put in an order for a set of intake manifold gaskets from FCP (they cost a fraction of the OEM ones:-). I plan to take the IM off to get proper access to the vac lines and maybe clean up the manifold whilst it is off. Depending on the condition of the swirl flaps I might get a delete kit and install it. I will also check what else lives under the IM that could be preventatively replaced.

I need to get a few more liters of engine oil as it is really time to change it. And then I hope to get a few miles out of the 35d before it goes up for sale later this summer.
