My 2008 535xi came up with 2 codes last night. It looks like I need a new O2 sensor. Anyone know the part number of the one I need to buy?

Look up the last 7 characters of your VIN, and then go here: www.realoem.com

They're calling them lambda probes. Looks like there are 4, and they're all different.

I saw that and that is why I am confused. I don't want to buy 4 o2 sensors when I only need bank 1 sensor 1.

Bank 1 is refers to the front 3 cylinders, and Sensor 1 is the pre-cat sensor, so I think you're looking for Item 1.

Ok I replaced the O2 sensors and cleared the codes with my Cobb but the same codes came back. Any ideas?
