Error code mystery

Hey all,
I have recently pulled an error code from my r53 and cant seem to get an answer as to what it is as it isn't a p code.
I went through the system manually to find it.
922800
Any help would be amazing. It has to relate to something right?

61356922800 is the part number for the ECU. Do you have a CEL?

Get the code read by an OBD scanner to find out what it is, you likely won't get anywhere with what you got from the menu.

You can get the cheap wifi / bluetooth (bluetooth only works on Android) OBD scanners that can work with your phone off of Amazon for cheap. I'm not sure about Canada, but try calling around to different auto parts stores or some shops and ask if they can pull a code for free. It only takes a couple of minutes, if that, so someone should be able to do it for you.

Edit: Looks like maybe Aamco in Canada will do it for you.

They all should. I use Torque for Android, I think the free version lets you read codes. I've heard Dash Command is good for iOS.

I really believe my throttle positioning control is frozen. It has not been running very good at low RPM in this bitter cold but ran fine at highway speeds. All this just this morning when it went into limp mode. P1639 throttle position valve stuck permanently P0120 throttle / pedal position sensor / switch A circuit malfunction P1638 throttle stuck. It's been 10 to 15 below 0 every night and only getting into single digits during the day. Mini has a pretty lousy design for these.
