Filled up the gas 100% since I didn't want to keep filling up halfway every other two days.

Now she feels fatter and slower.

Scraped going up the hill to where I live, when I usually never scrape that one part of the road. I guess even after 7,000 miles the Konis are still settling in.........can't even speed through the 240-degree on-ramp merger on the freeway anymore since the rears rub like crazy.

In desperate need of a fender roll but at the same time, no time to spare to leave the car overnight to have them rolled.

Fenders might be hitting the screw on the back bumper. That's what seems to happen on a lot of lowered E46's. Same issue with mine, although I had them rolled as well for a tad more room.

It's not that, the tires have been hitting the inner fender lining gunk.
Even before I replaced the stock shocks with Koni's, ModBargains was already telling me that I would need a roll in the rear to be able to fully "drive" with the new wheels I got back then.

Still waiting for some time to free up to get them rolled and the gunk removed, then sealed...

Well I've been babying my car recently for no particular reason but today I really opened her up going up the Twisty part of Route 8 in VA south of I81. For those of you who may know that section of the road that's extremely curvy and uphill going through the deep woods. I had the road to myself and did some spirited driving through the 1.5-2 mile section of extremely twisty road. Really enjoyed the gobs of torque this car has to pull me out of corners uphill really quick!

Spray with penetrating oil. Buy an o2 sensor kit from Autozone and use the half inch offset piece and a breaker bar. It should come right out with a few turns. I took mine out with out penetrating fluid. Granted I had the headers out...

Hermes, I see you've used a BMW scanner, but I'm curious what OBD code you had as I'm facing a similar 02 sensor issue.
