I get it all, but my point is the parts to resolve this are basically cheap and in need of replacement anyhow. So might as well crack on with it. If I get to the end of the trail and still have my lean codes, then yes, I can bring it over to a BMW shop to get a diagnosis for $150.
A single purchase of less than 150 USD will get you a Foxwell NT-510 or NT-520 and you will be able to scan as much as you want and get real codes not the generic p-codes.

The 165 you said for a smoke test seems pretty high to me but maybe that shop has hookers and blow in the waiting area.[emoji848]

Not trying to be a dick about it but if you want to keep costs down then throwing parts (even cheap ones) adds up quickly. There will be plenty of things that will need to be done and sometimes a few minor parts replacements can cause other parts to shit the bed at the worst time shortly thereafter.
