I'd first check the boot again. Maybe it was not clamped on perfectly - which would be a pretty easy thing to not get right.

Or maybe it tore again. Really. When I got one of those codes, I quickly found the boot with about a 1" tear in it. Seeing records from the PO, it was replaced only 25k miles earlier (and I belive that due to the low wear on it in general), and it was a genuine BMW part too. I don't know, but it seems that if things are clamped in place skewed, there may be some stress on it that would make it tear faster than usual ??? So maybe that's your twist?
