Hell of a time finding what was wrong. After I ordered a new rear o2 sensor I thought I got shipped the wrong one. The connectors are different for the 2 rear o2 sensors. So if you unplug them it can only go back into the right one. Nothing stops you from putting them into the wrong downpipe. Haha. My car ran great or misfires all summer. Finally in the fall I figured it out. The video I watched for the dp install also showed the sensors in the wrong pipes according to the color of the wire. Both black sensors go in 1 pipe and both grey sensors go into the other. You can't run the car if you switch the front 2 sensors but it will still run with the 2 rears switched and give you misfires. Not sure if that is what's happening to you but it's easy enough to check.
I'll double check that, but I drove it for over a month with no issues or codes after having the DP's slapped on. I'll keep you guys posted.

Today went well because I was able to pick up an AW 135i bumper to throw on my car while my 1M rep is in the shop being repaired. Right now I'm spraying a set of washer covers for it. Really looking forward to getting my car all sorted out and finally being able to enjoy it again.
