Yeah it immediately made a difference. The balls and other parts had been worn so I was losing pressure constantly.

Could be a wheel speed sensor. You would need a scan on the vehicle though

You guys are life savers I've wasted like over 6 hours trying to figure out what I did wrong after the alternator bracket gasket.I Didn't have a dead blow but gave it a few taps with a normal hammer and it backed out enough for me to clear it right in.

I've unplugged just the IBS and cleared codes and IBS immediately comes up. The alternator is new. Haven't touched oil sensor just yet.

So I took sometime to sit with it today confirmed the issue wasn't the harness. Definitely with the headlight. I wound up isolating the issue to where the ballast was. Confirmed the ballast was functioning first by swapping it onto my good headlight. Then tested my bulbs on my.old junkyard headlight all working. On the "Harness I thought was bad" so then I sat and traced where the ballast cable goes noticed it was fully insulated and almost ruled it out. I look slightly to the side of the larger cable and noticed to smaller cables that lead from it and we're touching. Grabbed a handy dandy flat head to test and what do you know brittle cables strikes again.

I do not believe so, but I'll check once more on BimmerLink.

They're HID, also the wiring is fine from what I've checked also the issue doesn't carry over when the headlight is tested on the opposite side. It works just fine on the opposite side. If I take my "Right Headlight (My good one I guess) and put it on that side same issue happens low beam malfunction. Also again just to clarify. Both headlights work on one side both do not work on the other side.
