Yeah I know it's for an e70, but that's only because the 3 I tried off e53s were junk and I was willing to try it for testing. I'm still waiting for the parts from the stealer to come.

As for the OBD2 the wires would get intermittent sometimes like couldn't read a system after clearing a code or not finding a system to talk to at all, but unplugging, restarting or wiggling the connector would fix it. Apparently the OBD2 had a bad wire plus a cracked case between holes and it possibly shorted out (replaced)

Maybe it's just coincidence that I messed with the ride height and the resistor died and the OBD2 died... but 3 on a match is bad luck, so I guess 3 scans in a sitting is just as bad in the luck department.

And for anyone getting trifecta lights without any other symptoms check that resistor!!!

So did replacing that resistor fix your car? Mine is exhibiting exactly the same symptoms although my OBDC port is working fine.

Yes it did, although I am now fighting with my DSC (nuked it) I believe but hey now the X doesn't ride like a hoopty...

After putting in the new resistor and clearing every last adaptation I have had zero trifecta issues.
