Mornin! Im getting new tires put on the front wheels and getting a new alignment

Nothing should happen, you should just get a CEL.

Got it

Does it have an IAC (idle air control) valve? if it does, find it, take it out, clean it, put it back and try again.

But yeah, what max says. When you unplug it, it stops metering from there and starts from MAP sensor instead.

It does have a ICV, I can use carb cleaner on that, yeah?

thats if has a map. I know on older (90's/early '00s) toyotas, if you unplug the maf the car will just stall out. I have no idea what bmw's engine management strategy is

It has a fail safe where if the MAF is gone it reverts to a safety tune kinda-thing

That would mean it's running off the MAP sensor then, typically.

In other news, my ASR and ABS lights came on on the way in to work this morning, restarted the car, and they're gone.

All fixed!
