Do you think it is the wiring, computer fried, software needs resetting?

All this because the car was jumped after the battery died.
It's an inline engine so everything is on one side. OBD2 codes are generic for any vehicle so cars with V type, boxer, etc where there are distinct sides to the motor have different banks for each side.

I wish I had a clue what those codes meant. I had a run in with seemingly unrelated VVT errors and it turned out to be the eccentric shaft sensor. I'm not saying that's what's wrong with yours, only that the codes don't necessarily imply that the antecedent of the code is necessarily the problem.

The bav-tech tool is nice for BMW specific codes, but next to useless for diagnostics. Since yours is a 2006 330i, you might be able to get some useful information from DIS and a K+dcan cable, but setting DIS up is a pain. My dealer charges $45 for a diagnostic which is usually the best route to go.
