Hi Guys,

i have a 2010 e90 335i with 94kms on the clock,

i have been trying to work out why my LTFT's on both banks are high. This is what i have checked.

O2 sensors all good
Vac lines all good
RCV replaced all good.

My LTFT's do go down on WOT but i done a smoke test and I've got no leaks.

The only thing i haven't replaced is the PCV valve which i have ordered.

Everything seems to be running great, even on idle.

can you guys suggest anything else it could be?

Wow another guy that has a LTFT issue. Im in the same boat. Do you have downpipes installed? Do you have a multi gear log?

My car is completly stock. No mods. My figures show as

Ltft bank 1: +17 at 700rpm
Ltft bank 2: +26 at 700rpm

Ltft bank 1: +5 at 2000rpm
Ltft bank 2: +10 at 2000rpm


I can only put it down to the pcv valve, check hose, tmap or some vacuum leak i havent picked up

How do you know the O2 sensors are "all good?" What metric are you using to test them?

What do your STFT look like?

Post a log if you want any help outside of conjecture.

Well that would be the last thing as i find it very unlikely for both sensors to go at the same time. Plus, they are both well within translation with each other and voltage fluctuation seems ok.

I only have a simple OBD2 app that cannot export. I'm getting the cable now so i can run INPA.

STFT: +-3 on bank 1 - Idle
STFT: +-4 on bank 2 - Idle

STFT: +15 on bank 1 - 2500RPM
STFT: +22 on bank 2 - 2500RPM

On load, STFT will go up and LTFT will come down.

New injectors fixed my trim issues. I had index 9s and replaced with index 12s.

Hmm...I could see leaky injectors causing negative trim values, but OP seems to have the opposite problem.

as o2s age they just react slower, log term trims in and of themselves (high or low) dont mean a prob as such. Do you have some driveability issue? By inference, a long term trim adding fuel consistently in the same rpm would band would be associated with excessively lean and cause a surge.

You experiencing that?

I had same problem on both both like you. Mine was defective DME although you wouldn't think it was...10K in parts and 2 year later I fixed it. Injector first then DME. This is not an air leak. Post a log as it will help. If you LTFT are very transient and look more like a O2 sensor log then it most likely the DME

Actually, my issue was I was maxxing my STFT at +33 during WOT on 93 octane. Struggled with this issue for 2 years and finally just changed all injectors and it solved my particular issue. YMMV

Also, clean your TMAP sensor - may help.
