I reset my check engine light , it is now gone.
I think the problem was the in filter pressure regulator for non OEM does not have the correct fuel pressure, hence check engine light was on showing codes P0172 and P0175.
P.S
The OEM BMW fuel filter also says Mahle on it , but also has a BMW Logo on it.
Seems like a logical cause-and-effect there, but I highly doubt the filter 'spec' is any different. I'd be looking for the SES to come back on.

Wrong.
Before when I reset the light it would come on the same day. After I replaced the fuel filter with OEM one, its been now 900 miles no check engine light anymore
