Limp Mode w/ Codes [1st gear = Reverse?!]

Hey guys.

2004 BMW Z4 3.0i w/ SMG Transmission. Currently in limp mode and have the following codes. All hard coded, nothing can be cleared.

Back story: I got the SMG Pump replaced TWICE. The first time around the pump worked, no codes. But then the pump failed. Second time around, with a brand new pump again. No codes, drove for a day. The next day, INTERMITTENT limp mode. The next day, stuck in limp mode.

OFTEN, 1st gear would throw me into Reverse - SCARY when taking off on a green light

Maybe it was not flashed/re-taught properly? Alternator? Regulator? TCM? Battery?

I've had the battery tested, and replaced twice with new batteries.

IF it is the alternator/regulator, please visit my other thread: http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?p=16404539

Engine Codes

299A Error Management EGS
281D BSD Alternator Signal Implausible
281C BitData Port Signal Implausible
27C3 Thermal Oil Level Sensor

Tranny Codes
20916 (51B4)
20213 (4EF5)

I get other sensor codes like, Convertible roof top, Dashboard cluster, Heating/AC etc. But they have been cleared.

Your thoughts? Thanks

A bad alternator can cause all kinds of coding errors. My M thought it was an automatic, and wouldn't start because the gear selector wasn't in park
