After Cat fuel trim Error
I have an E53 / M54. I just changed pre and post O2 sensors for # 4 -6 bank. I did not get wires crossed. Error E2 came on. Can anybody please help? Thanks!

What O2 sensors did you use?

Could it mean "after cat O2 sensor trim"?

Could be the efficiency of the cat for that bank. The post cat 02 sensor doesn't control fuel trim like pre cat 02 sensors. One simple test to perform is if you have an infrared thermometer is to drive the car until the temp is up and use the infrared thermometer to measure the temp at the inlet of the cat and at the outlet of the cat. The outlet temp should be greater then the inlet temp if the cat is working properly.

Suspect couple of things going on - simple code reader converts and groups 4 digit codes to 2 digit. Some fidelity is lost there...
New part can be defective, someone else's return, or just plain counterfeit. Glad at least it's a name brand sensor As pall night suggested, it could be a bigger problem that replacing O2 sensor didn't fix.

What was the answer to the question as to why you replaced the sensors?

I'm sorry, there is no clear answer to this. A couple of thoughts - just guesses...
1) The Bav Auto code reader isn't helping much. It is somehow translating several different possible BMW codes (4 digits) into one of a few 2 digit codes. Find a friend or indy shop that can read the actual BMW codes and post those. 2) post-cat O2 sensors mostly report on the health of the cat. Very few reasons one would throw a code except the O2 sensor is bad. You could try switching the left and right side post-cat O2 sensors and see if the code follows the sensor. If it does, you got a bad sensor. 3) If you get your hands on a proper BMW code reader, clear the adaptations. It is possible the engine is still trying to read the new O2 sensor based on the map it learned from your old O2 sensor.
