M5 meaning 5 Spd?.
If so then different IAC strategies, and that might be enough for a
borderline case.
Might be a marginal sensor and just lame enough that it makes a difference.
Also, might look at what the high and low Os voltages are in those bins.
When you'r selling a couple million vehicles and playing the EPA game not
all makes sense
