This is a problem with the throttle actuator (2792)and 279A is a re learn abort code, the problem will probably be a failed throttle actuator, but i would get a BMW tech to do a deep scan to prove the diagnosis first, i would also be checking that the electrical connection is clean and tight and that there is no signs of loose pins or corrosion in the cannon plug.
