Learning DME Values and Chasing Limp Mode

Hello FCP Euro... I mean E90 post... I’m currently going through some issues with limp mode appearing on WOT at 6.5k ish rpm - 3rd gear mostly.
Turned the car off and it resets back to normal as expected. The following codes appear:
29DC - Cylinder injection cutout
2E83 - Electric coolant pump, power-reduced op
2E97 - Generator

So the purpose of this post is to learn about the base line levels for healthy engines. If there is a thread of this topic already lmk. Also if you have some light to shed on the topic please.

---- plus some logs: during idle - note this was after a drive so oil/coolant temps are up to speed
Lambda Bank 1+2 - 15.5
Fuel Low Pressure - 73PSI
Fuel Rail Pressure - rests around 700 for 10 seconds, jumps to 2400, and gradually returns to 700 to repeat the process again after 10 sec.
WGDC 1 + 2 = 58.2

Brainstorming the possibilities right now and will be back with more updates once I replace the voltage regulator on the backside of the alternator and the spark plugs/coils. May clean out the injectors using a fuel additive. Also, I may check the intake valves for residue once I change my alternator if the opportunity shows itself.

Extra notes:
335is - 6 Speed - Running FBO MHD 2+ for about 6k miles now, always 93 Octane, 77k miles, maintained with utmost respect, clean as whistle except for these oddities.

Hopefully this helps people experiencing the same problem as I reach a solution. S/o to bimmerpost for looking out for aspiring car nerds

I agree that replacing the regulator is a good first step. I wouldn't think your plugs and coils are to blame if you're not getting misfires. If you've got logs, it's best to upload them to datazap and post the link here.

Don't go firing the parts cannon just yet. There are 4 consumers on the BSD:
Alternator
Water pump
IBS
Oil level sensor
When one is bad, it can take out any or all of the others. Unplug one at a time. When one is unplugged and the other 3 work normally, you've found your culprit.

But isn't there a BSD data bus communications code (2E7C) related to that type of fault? This sounds like they're all still communicating, but one or two of them is underperforming.
