Specialty tools is another story but i figured i will use them again.

For that P-0011 check that the installation of the CPS are not swapped. In bank1 they look exactly the same and the hole they go into look the same and therefore it's very easy to inadvertently swap them. Take a look at my post http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-misfires.html

If the install is correct you may want to try to do a DME Ram Backup via INPA toolset32 (Select d_motor.grp which will bring up the correct .prg file for your DME - scroll down the list of jobs - double click "RAM_backup"). This will reset all your adaptation values including the cams. I have read people even redoing timing and that code persists and only resolved by a Ram Backup.

Give this a shot and let us know what the results.
