1F0526 DME error. Drivetrain Malfunction

The fully qualified error
1F0526: DME, internal error, safety function: torque comparison

The error logs
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B58...1W1Cc-XyB/view

Car history
74,000 km, stage 1 tune done by some shop. Recently bought from private dealer. The car does fine on WOT for short stints, even launch control and everything works fine and goes pretty quick.

Symptoms
Driving "spiritedly" on highway/road, touch of WOT accelerating on and off a few times. While powering on the car suddenly threw the "Drivetrain Malfunction" error, went into limp mode. I pulled over, cleared the message from screen and restarted car perfectly. There was no engine rattle, no loss of power before or after. This happened to me twice in 2 weeks or so.

From what I read it could be a dodgy tune? I'll run more diagnostics and try to replicate the error again. I'm using bimmerlink to get codes.
