- In my case, no change of engine bay sound at all.
- Half engine light when building boost above ~3k rpm.
- Loss of low end and high end power, degraded fuel efficiency
- Active DME codes (need bmw specific scanner to read):

2C57 - Charging pressure control, plausibility Pressure too low.
387F - Power management: Standby current violation.

- Replaced the pressure converter:
Genuine BMW - 11747626351 - Pneumatic Wastegate Actuator

- Issue resolved, full boost restored.

Happened at ~47.5k miles, now at ~60k.
Mine also comes on randomly... Usually once a day and then after I clear it, no issues. Can usually go WOT and full boost but at highway speeds and a quick over 3k for lane switch I'll get the 2c57 code and half engine light. Might just try the pneumatic wastegate actuator, is there any specific way to diag it? or just replace and pray.
