You know you're a car guy when yours parts are on the shelves and your clothes are on the floor...
nah it's easy to tell if you're a car guy. if you just have a shitload of parts/boxes all over your room in a corner somewhere lol
Yeah I hate going to the DMV. i had to go a couple of days ago too to get a moving permit for my car. I just drove all the way down to San Clemente's DMV and went to theirs lol It's the least busy one. Still took 2 hours total, but the wait at mines would have been like all day.
Man, not a good day for the ZHP... As I threw 4 codes today
Those sound like lean codes. Similar to this guy:

All your intake boots etc in good shape?

Everything on the intake side is brand new, even the intake manifold gaskets. I am going to double check all the connections tomorrow but I doubt it is vacuum related.
Was thinking fuel filter would be a good start. Needs to be replaced anyways and Cali has crap gas. Need to research this some more. thanks for the link!
Few updates from today and will have a video shortly. So these two items may or may not be related. I have been throwing lean codes recently, and I thought my vanos was becoming nosier. However, it turns out that my DISA valve is chattering and failing!!! with only ~10,000 miles on it! I bought this DISA valve from Turner.

It says that it is a genuine BMW brand, but the one they sent me is NOT! No BMW logo or part #. Cannot believe I didn't spot this right away. Going to call them tomorrow and will see how they are going to handle this. I should not have installed it, but it is their fault for sending the wrong part! Any ways not happy about that
On the flip side, made a stop into Irvine BMW's Parts Department today and picked up some new goodies. Two new Tie rods, a fuel filter, and the headlight to hood trim pieces.
Massive respect for the dedication you have towards getting the Zhp back to top shape...

Turner should make good on that. They exchanged CF mirror shells for me that were way out of warranty....
Those headlight trim pieces.... were you old ones rotting/falling apart along the edges?
