Long story short, replaced motor with one that was used motor, but used engine appears that it was only a year and a half old.
I had some other issues, but think most of that was related to bad gas, and missing a couple connectors that weren't plugged in, may also need to adjust the waste gate, as the core of the turbo was replaced and the adjustment for that may be off. Will have to check the vacuum line to it as well.
The one error I cant get rid of is with the intake cam, when I got the car inspected the dealership mentioned that they could not get the cam to adjust because they said its spec was so out of range and recommended checking the cam alignment. I had a cam alignment tool as I planned on, and may still plan on rebuilding the original engine. I checked the tool on the original engine and it showed as being off by a few degrees, when I checked it on my new engine, it appeared to be off the same amount, got a new better alignment tool and they were both off the same amount with the new tool as well. I never had an issue with the old engine like that, it was oil burning that did that engine in. The flywheel and crank position wheel are on the new engine, so I am not sure if on the old engine if it might have been the exhaust cam or both that were just slightly off. Where as the new engine, the exhaust cam was perfectly aligned and the intake was a couple degrees off. But it is still saying there is an issue with the timing after aligning it. I also swapped the cam sensor from the original engine.
I currently have carly and will likely get bimmerlink Saturday when my new ODB2 connector shows up (have an old one that's just too slow and I need to hold my phone within inches to it to connect) , but I wasn't sure if there is a sensor in one of those apps that I can tell me how off in alignment they are? and what values I should see?
If it was a problem with the crank sensor or timing wheel, should I expect a timing error with the exhaust cam as well? If I lock the engine in place for timing, would I be able to check the position of the teeth on the crank timing wheel, to make sure it is installed correctly?

So according to these sensors, Intake cam stays at 0 the whole time. I swapped the sensor previously and the same check engine code came up.
The code is 0x2DA0 "Intake camshaft angular offset to crankshaft outside tolerance" in BimmerLink.
EDIT:
Since I grabbed the exact code I kinda presumed this might be the case before, especially given the whole engine was swapped. but this post identified the exact two errors I am getting. The person that follows up states that only after completely wiping the ECU engine adaptations did these errors go away. I had wondered before all of this if that might be the needed solution. I'll have to reach out to the dealership and see how much it might cost, vs the $600 + in equipment it cost separately.
