How many miles on your O2 sensors? They soft-fail around 100k miles.

Use OBD Fusion and an OBDII WiFi adaptor to view your short term fuel trims, MAF data and O2 sensor voltages. I had poor idle and that's how I tracked it down.
Car has 150,xxx miles. No codes whatsoever from ECU (except SAP, which has been coded out anyways).
Do coils soft fail at all? Not misfiring, so they didn't seem likely to me.
CCV was replaced, OEM unit and all hoses as well. When I pulled the intake off I inspected all the hoses again and they were good.
MAF was cleaned a couple of time with CRC mass airflow sensor cleaner. After spraying, it was left in a clean environment outside of the car overnight to dry. I've never touched any part of it besides the outer plastic housing. Don't have another MAF to test unfortunately.

Prior to an exhaust leak, I was seeing 7-12% on average for the fuel trims. After fixing, about -15%. After resetting adaptations and driving 500+ miles, they're at about 6%.
I hadn't realized I could actually diagnose using voltages. What is the range they should be in?

BTW, as a side note: what did you find in regards to the wonky ride heights (link)?
Did the rough idle start suddenly? Do you know when it started relative to any parts you replaced? If you do, that's the first place I would look.
I think it's a safe assumption that the intake is fine at this point. You say you reset the adaptations, have you had the car in an idle situation long enough? It might still be learning the adaptations (I assume it needs the engine under all conditions, so simply driving 500 miles wouldn't give it that). I had a rough-ish idle after doing the manifold out procedures (coolant lines, etc), cleaning the throttle body, and resetting the adaptations. It took a bit for my idle to normalize.
Thanks for asking--you know, I'm convinced it was something like 20% my imagination, even though I did measure and there was a considerable difference in wheel well clearance on either side--I removed both shocks, replaced both rear shock mounts, wrestled springs around on both sides to make sure they were in the same place, everything else looked symmetrical. It still was a little wonky, and I gave it up for the time being.
Checked again recently, and the back was even again. I guess it needed time to settle?

Nice, glad it's even. Might have been the uneven / sloping ground, I thought my m3 was off by 1/2"-3/4" in a corner but when I measured on flatter / less sloping ground it was about even (1/4").
How old are those o2 sensors?
