Wow, the load value is high for only going 36 MPH. What gear was it in? It had to be a low gear. I can use my Foxwell and an Actron scanner to compare values. Keep in mind, mine has a modified DME. As to what kind of software updates or mods it may have I don't know. The DME was replaced to disable an EWS battery drain. The BMW DME suppliers may have done some software tweaks. I do have my OEM MAF sensor. I plan to install new brakes all the way around on Thur. I can swap the MAF sensor for readings after scanning with my other tools. Looks like your FT are balanced between front and rear. So the issue of off FT is common.
How high is vacuum when you take off the oil cap at idle? I think mine is a little high. I plan to replace the CCV soon. I think it's contributing to oil loss though small. 1 Qt per 1500 miles or so. Which seems normal for a high mileage BMW engine.


Code P0365: points to the intake cam sensor. It may need cleaning or replacement. I plan to replace both intake and exhaust cam sensors during a CCV/coolant system update. Remove the intake sensor. I suspect the o-ring is failing. If it is, oil going past it is causing reading errors.

Does anyone know if BMW fuel trims are positive or negative? GM on most vehicles are negative.
