Yea, I have read a ton of posts on e90 and bimmerfest including this one and they all seem to point in different directions from hpfp to lpfp sensor to high pressure sensor. None of them really give a clear answer on a fix

There aren't always clear answers on a fix
Start with the easier stuff to fix / diagnose, and move to the more complicated stuff later. The internet tricks us all into thinking that we will find exactly what is wrong with out car, with one simple search. 
The internet is a great tool for narrowing down issues, and confirming common ones, but diagnosis on your own vehicle will always trump what you read online.

BavSound is having at 15%off anniversary sale. I have a set in my E36 and they sound great!

+ They are the only company who makes speakers to fit directly into the doorcard speaker grills for the E36.

If your E36 needs better speakers. Highly recommend them.

Yea that's why I was trying to see if anyone locally had this problem to compare if they had the same code and what truly helped. After hours of searching the good ol internet the possible "fixes" list just keeps growing. Started with resetting adaptions and then will start with senors before the infamous hpfp

What if your E36 doesnt even have door cards?

That is very problematic. Door cards are VERY nice. Gives an E36 a luxury feel

What if your not trying to go for a "luxury feel" ?

Mkah motorsports sells some sick doorcard deletes that are still door cards

I hope they used a material that would degrade in a few years.
Something about E36's with door cards falling off just feels right. 

It'd be like owning an E46 without the A or C pillar cloth falling down, ya know?

Hmmmm My doorcards have never fallen off. I guess I haven't had the full e36 experience yet?

You must not have any E36's

Guess not. Must be an e46-36 hybrid.

Gold Rush Rally just stopped in Menomonie Wi. Always cool seeing some exotics. Though the main pack is about an hour behind a few people who passed me going 150 on i-94

Aventador SV, Hurican and a few Mclarens

Fcpeuro is having a pretty decent summer sale from now until 6/30

The P1 is pretty incredible but most exotics just dont excite me. Something about modifying a very  basic common car gets me excited though

Gold Rush was in Chicago last night so it was probably one of the group. Was it this one?
