What was the cause? High emissions?

If the CEL has been on, have the codes read and post them. Then we'll be able to get a better idea of what is causing the problem and help with some fixes.

Ok... that really doesn't help. What were the codes before you had them reset?

It could be a bad O2 sensor, due to bad gas? Or many other things.......

i know which sensor is bad it was in the original post lol, the mass air sensor is the only sensor bad, and the idle air control valve is also bad.

Not sure which one you have. If its 3.0 I have Idle comtrol valve from my 330ci - you can have ( I just need to find it in my garage)
Would be nice if you can post a picture from REALOEM of the valve you need...just to confirm. Let us know.
