My original problem was misfires on 4-6, a 30BB code and the sensors reading lean. Car was in limp mode and we were unable to reset bank two after replacement of coils and spark plugs. Therefore I took it to a shop to see if their software could clear the code and that is what shot it down.
That is a known DME transistor problem, nothing to do with tuning. Someone posted a DIY fix for it here. BMW will also cover it under warranty on certain models. You should really change the subject of this thread as it's VERY misleading.
