Check the eccentric shaft sensor connection under the beauty cover for oil.

Inspect solenoid connectors and wiring for damage.
I get this code every 6 months or so. I usually clear. Last time I took X5 out and gave it a good thrashing....several WOT runs with 1-2 and 2-3 shifts over 5K. CEL turned itself off.
Ive owned it for a while and havent had this issue but what makes me think you man be right about the trashing is Ive been running a bad radiator that overcools the engine (thermostat bypass through transmission oil cooler), combined with the cold whether here and a bit of coolant in the oil, some passages may not have gotten the proper oil flow. I changed the radiator last tuesday and the idle fluctuation may be less now. I will check the eccentric sensor, and I have swapped the solenoids already. Thsnks!
