When speaking to master tech at my BMW dealer he said how if Your car shows it's been flashed 20 or so times and it doesn't match up with dealer flash updates on ecu that it's a red flag. So wondered if when programming with BimmerCode was considered a "flashing of ecu"?

Short answer no. Coding only writes the cafd file so it is not considered flashing.

Thanks for that
I'm screwed anyway. I flashed my car to evolve and to stock so many times due to revisions of tune, getting EGS clamp pressure turned up, stock to dealer visits for back up camera update, a gear shifter recalls and so on. I've probably flashed it one way or the other a good 20 times in past 13 months. But that's why I went with Evolve's tune over others, I felt like they didn't push the limit too far compared to some other tuners that squeeze more out of our engine.
