for example if you try to crank engine with those ground wires near injectors not attached properly, the ground thru DME will be used instead for high voltage spark generation and DME can be damaged
or if someone worked with catalyst sensor (often removed when installed downpipes, etc) and not properly isolated them ant they will make short on cars body because they are have heating circuit inside

Just checked the ECU, there is no water or condensation inside the box. it's completely dry. I do need to find a new BMW mechanic around the Riverside/Inland Empire area (preferably)

OK, so I was finally able to remove and clean both VANOS solenoids with engine degreaser and some canned air. With big hands, it was a pain in the ass but now everything is clean and back in the car.

Once I was finished I started up the car and everything sounded OK.
I drove around and got a feel for the car and everything felt good.
I then decided to do a couple of 3rd gear WOT pulls to see if any of the previous codes would reappear or if I would encounter anything out of the normal but nothing. The car pulled harder than a freight train and felt awesome. I haven't had a smile on my face this big in a long time when it comes to this car hah

I'm in the process of uploading the logs (I have 3) and ill upload as soon as they're ready.

Here are the logs I took after cleaning the VANOS

I tried to switch to the Stage 1 or Stage 1+ map but I never purchased them (only stage 2 and the E85 maps) So I switched to the V7 Stage 2 maps instead.

I did a total of two logs, see below

PS: I set the monitoring to default before everything so hopefully that's what you were asking for

OK so I reset the LAMBDA adaptations and then pulled the following logs:

First: Stage 2 (Same as yesterday, only difference was resetting adaptations)

Second: Stage 0 (Stock Map)

Third: Stage 0 (Stock Map; additional pull)

Come to find out; I live in California and I've been using the regular 91 octane maps instead of the 91ACN maps. I havent had a chance to switch to 91 ACN, but perhaps that has something to do with it.
