      BMW don't use P0 codes...........if you want to see P0 codes than use OBD2 system and you will get P0 codes.............

    See in the attached link................

    P1083 Fuel Control Mixture Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
    P1085 Fuel Control Mixture Lean (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

    Those codes are for lean fuel mature............check for any vacuum leak in intake system, Air filter, Air Mass Dirty, S/Plugs, Rocker Cover gasket leak, Oil Cap Air Leak................and so on..............

     Autel works like OEM tool. So, it's because of this, that DTC codes are not P and are what BMW has.

     Use the OBDII Icon on the tool, this is a generic OBDII tool and should give you P0XXX and P1XXX codes.

     Only OBDII /EOBD codes will trigger the SES/CEL/MIL. Manufacturer proprietary codes WILL NOT light the SES/CEL/MIL, they may light some other type of warning, but usually they will not light anything and not notify the driver.

    I RARELY care to get anything other than OBDII/EOBD codes when working on driveability problems. Manufacturer proprietary codes are not often required and will often confuse matters due to poor language translation and/or the semantics. I the glass half empty or half full based on someone's point of view.

    Unless I misunderstood the question, the OP should start with the OBDII/EOBD function of the tool first.
