I'll try cycling the car several times as that sometimes does the trick.

Edit - didn't seem to do the trick. I've read on e90post that setting:

TCM_ALIVE_MONITOR -> nicht_activ
TCM_ID_MONITOR -> nicht_activ

Should I try these values?

Thanks so much for all of the help. Hope this helps anybody else with a similar problem.
Even though I am subscribed to threads, Bimmerpost never seems to email me of updates; as such, I had not seen your updates until now.

If you are coding head unit (eg, HU_NBT), it will reset your memory hotkeys (1-8). If you code instrument cluster (eg, KOMBI), it will ask you to reset clock and will reset info like trip computer. If you code drivetrain modules (eg, ICM or DSC), you may get screen or cluster errors. As long as you have no errors on computer (ie "Finished with '0' Errors"), then they will go away on their own, by driving a little, or with E-sys External Transmitter.

Which KOMBI do you have? I do not even see those parameters.
