as for the shadow codes, should I be concerned about those or are they just benign?
How many miles on your car? From this post, it could be your pressure converter (also known as wastegate solenoid / actuator). go to realoem for the correct part number, it might be the same as the below post.

Bumping for google index because there aren't too many online records of this issue:

2011 N55 335i coupe e92lci

- In my case, no change of engine bay sound at all.
- Half engine light when building boost above ~3k rpm.
- Loss of low end and high end power, degraded fuel efficiency
- Active DME codes (need bmw specific scanner to read):

2C57 - Charging pressure control, plausibility Pressure too low.
387F - Power management: Standby current violation.

- Replaced the pressure converter:
Genuine BMW - 11747626351 - Pneumatic Wastegate Actuator

- Issue resolved, full boost restored.

Edit: also, maybe take it to a knowledgeable indy shop or dealer. you could run into the problem of just throwing new parts at the car that are unnecessary. not a bad idea for the pressure converter though since part i think is less than $150 and DIY-able if you have some comfort wrenching / plenty of online DIY videos for the N55
