Also did you register the new battery. I don't think 900 CCA was OE spec. If it is for your car then all you have to do is register the new battery but if it was not then you will have to change the specs to match the new CCA and then register

My Ride: 530i Loaded to max
Over the weekend, I cleared all the codes and ran it through the DD start-up test and it passed successfully. I drove it to a few places and had no errors or problems whatsoever. On my way home Saturday, I stopped at a drive through Arby's where they took too long to prepare the food and sure enough, while sitting there, the red Dynamic Driving Malfunction error popped up. Again, it came up while sitting there idling for 10 minutes.
I have put a volt meter under the hood and attached to the 2 remote battery terminals and watched it . It stays pretty steady between 13.7 and 14.2 VDC.
I think the longitudinal acceleration sensor is the same as the transverse acceleration sensor. I'll try to access it with the seat in place but it may be impossible. I'm hoping that there's loose plug in that or something.

Oh, and by the way, I DID register the battery. I registered it as a 900 CCA AGM battery in DIS. During that same time, I also reset the IBS in INPA. \
Thanks,
Randy

At this point you should be looking at the actual system. Have you done a PS fluid change or checked the levels. If so you need to move on to the part it self that controls it. Check this DIY out

I think you should look into the DD sensors. Sometimes it gets stuck (worn) and will report the error.

Dynamic drive fault
I Connected Ista to my car from my laptop, I done steering angle sensor adjustment and it fixed the problem, probably best you do it yourself or watch the person do it just to be sure he’s definitely done it. I think Ista is the only program that will do it, just make sure steering wheel is straight when you do it and ignition is on. Turn it off wait 10 mins then turn it on. It’s been a month and my faults gone and I’ve smashed it around roundabouts and nothing.
