I am attending. If my E31 is delivered on time, I will take that. Otherwise, it's a coin flip between the X5 or the 330Ci.

+1. The same thing happened to my 840Ci. The crash module was on it's last leg. Replaced it and problem never came up again.

A weak battery can also cause funny things on BMWs.

Just did mine Saturday with Amsoil Synthetic ATF (Dex/Mac III/IV). Can't believe how dark the old fluid was. I will do this again a couple of times in the course of this week.

From what I know, Pedal travel is not directly related to the pads but the hydrolics . So it could be the level of fluid, brake booster or even air in the system.

I was told that they will not work with Factory HID. So I did not get them. Do you know otherwise? I like the looks of it but don't want to spend $$ if I can't get the Factory HID to fit.

Thank you both. I see now. So if the maf measures less air going in it will send the signal to send less fuel.

I am still baffled by the one bank though.

I understand that but to one bank and lean? What you said would most likely to create a rich condition, isn't it? Not debating but learning through logic.
