If shadow codes are cleared before it goes in then there is nothing to see.

I have literally tried everything now, (for 2 days) and I cant fix the problem, to whom can I take the car and pay for them to sort out this nightmare? Because I'm out of ideas and tired

Did to try reading for codes with the JB on? I know you stated that when it's removed the light comes on but you probably have "Auto Delete" on? Switch it off and check the code.

Terry's answer

Typically it means the DME TMAP ground has been damaged. You would
need to bypass it by connecting it to chassis ground. The JB4 includes
a similar bypass.

How do I do this?

Join a piece of wire to the black wire on the TMap connector and run it to ground (anywhere on the chassis). I did mention TMap earlier. Probably the wire is broken on the connector itself. The TMap is the multicolored plug with 4 wires black, red, yellow and green.

Check the TMap connector & pins. Or else disconnect battery for 30mins.

But u never said thanks, Lol just joking. Pic below

Perfect thank you so much Dean. How would I explain this to BMW if it doesnt work, or is a wire tap reversible?
