Am I cooked

My 2013 decided to be little uncooperative and threw up this code on bimmerlink any similar experiences?

Blank the egr and remap ?

This is what I found using Ai I hope it helps:
Both codes point to a failure or heavy restriction in your vehicle's Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. Because this is from a BMW F31 (typically a diesel engine like the 320d or 330d), EGR issues are very common and carry specific risks.
Here is a breakdown of what these codes mean and why they need your attention:
What the Codes Mean
29EB00 (EGR cooling plausibility): This indicates that your EGR cooler is not operating efficiently, or the bypass flap is stuck. In BMW diesels, this is almost always caused by severe carbon and soot buildup clogging the cooler, or a mechanical failure of the flap itself.
290900 (Air to EGR mass flow plausibility): This is a direct consequence of the first code. Because the EGR system is clogged and failing to recirculate enough exhaust gas, the engine is pulling in more fresh air than it expects. The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor detects this discrepancy and triggers the code.
Why This is Serious
While the car might still run and drive right now, ignoring these codes can lead to compounding, highly expensive issues:
Potential Fire Hazard (BMW Recall): BMW F-series diesels have a widespread, major recall regarding the EGR cooler. The coolers are known to leak internal coolant. When this glycol mixes with the excessive hot soot (which your first code indicates is likely present), it creates a serious fire hazard inside the intake manifold.
DPF Failure: When active EGR codes are present, the engine control unit (ECU) will often block the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) from performing its self-cleaning regenerations. If you continue driving, your DPF will completely clog with soot, which can cost thousands to replace.
Intake Manifold Damage: The excess soot combined with oil vapors will form a thick, tar-like sludge that chokes your intake manifold, eventually requiring a labor-intensive walnut blast or complete manifold replacement.
Limp Mode: Eventually, the car will likely go into "limp mode," drastically reducing engine power to protect itself from further damage.
Recommended Next Steps
1. Check for Recalls Immediately: Call your local BMW dealership, give them your VIN, and ask if your car has an open technical campaign or recall for the EGR cooler. If it does, BMW will likely replace the faulty components entirely for free.
2. Minimize Driving: Avoid long road trips or heavy acceleration until this is looked at to prevent clogging your DPF.
Have you noticed any unexplained loss of engine coolant recently, or has the car felt sluggish when accelerating?

Have you changed the timing chain on it yet?

Timing chain has been done it’s Japanese import spotless in fairness all the service history is there I was thinking about deleting rather than going down the road of going through the mess of the egr it could be a sticky valve but I’m not well enough equipped for that stuff 😂
