My BMW 2001 330xi has Service Engine Soon light came on then off for a day and on again, then repeat. I just replaced both O2 sensors by the engine and it still does the same. What could be wrong? Help! Thank you!

System too lean codes can be from a torn intake boot or a faulty cyclone separator and/or an intake leak (un-metered intake air) A visual inspection and perhaps smoke testing the intake are in order.
