Anyway, replaced the SAS, coded it to the car, cleared the code and calibrated. 4X4 light off and back in business.
I guess when it rains it pours. I threw the E46 up this afternoon to give it its 6 month check up and found a drip of ATF on the rack boot. Inspected a little closer and sure enough, the right tie rod rack boot is full of fluid.

Looks like another $1000 into the 3 series after just throwing $300 at the X5 for the SAS. I swear these two talk at night, I am guessing the 3 got a little jealous of the X5 getting some attention.

Been trouble free for a solid year with a combined mileage of over 30,000 miles. Guess I shouldn't be too upset, I just wish the girls would space their needs a little farther apart.
