May have finally resolved the SAS but want to wait a bit before declaring success. Especially as I had a small problem with cyls 7-12 afterwards... misfires with cutoff. Oh wait, you are supposed to connect the accordion boot to the MAF and actually tighten it down?
Never mind...
Hopefully no other stupid mistakes... hence the wait.

Registered a new key, now I have two that work!
I had only on olders style key, so sent the EWS and key off to RPM Motorsport. I ordered the older style key set. When I received it, it had two newer diamond style keys, two valet keys and the original key.
Turns out they couldn't get any older style keys, guess i'll have to make do with newer key...:P
Several weeks ago, I swapped 3 power steering hoses to stop a leak, just noticed fluid leaking again, time to source the leak.
Did you change out the old PS canister? These are cheap and the old ones normally leak.
Lets get the party started before it's my bedtime.
I'll second this. I need to replace mine at some point. It leaks a little around the cap. Put a new seal on the cap and even then, any time I take it off to check the fluid it's 50/50 whether it'll seal or if it'll slowly weep a little bit of fluid onto the outside of the reservoir.
Put on some new shoes. M5 wheels, Pirelli's. 19x9.5 & 8.5. 285/35/19 on the rear and they are Hugh. Rides nice. Got them for a song with tires almost new.

I didn't replace the canister but I did replace 2 of the three hoses the go to the canister, I trimmed the third one to the SLS. The leak was located at the cooler lines adjacent to the radiator. Both of those hoses were replaced but the bolt needed to be tightened after a warm up and cool down.
Replaced the Rear C-pillar Seals as described in https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...5#post29845255
And replaced the Center Split Armrest with the way obsolete Cell phone with a Euro Style Armrest
Added Daylight LED Lights to work area in the garage

They Don't want us Posting Links on the board but search Google/Amazon for "Sunco Lighting LED Utility Shop Light, 4 FT, Linkable Integrated Fixture, 40W=260W, 5000K Daylight, 4100 LM, Frosted Lens, Surface/Suspension Mount, Pull Chain, Garage – ETL, Energy Star" and it will take you right to it.

Installed this gem in the L7. For $40 I'm using Bluetooth in a 22 year-old car. Love it.
