P1166 - Long Term Fuel Trim Additive Air; Bank 1; Range 2; System too Rich
P1167 - Primary O2 sensor heating circuit

Replace your primary O2 sensor

120k miles is a little early usually but not uncommon..

You must be thinking Cat. converter...
Oxygen sensor change interval is like 60,000 miles

I know these go out on BMW's like clock work, probably due to a slightly richer mix from the factory..

very true. o2 sensors can go bad quickly if the conditions are right.

change it and see how that does
