Universal code readers wont find these codes sometimes. You need a reader designed for BMW's. Que Bavarian Technic Tool.

It also takes 3 instances before a code to show up sometimes. However, it may be stored in shadow codes, again, only read by BMW readers.

Depending on your tune you may be able to see the code as well.
