Please tell me which modifications would prevent the car from running. I'll have to go scold my 500 and tell it not to do that again because it is impossible.

Leaning it enough to affect mileage and advancing cams? Just guessing really.
A gas engine needs from 1/13 to 1/14 parts fuel to air to run. Richer or leaner will result in real problems. Turning 5 liters of air for every other rotation of the motor will result in a very predictable amount of fuel being used. Since I know what a 500 motor will do from personal experience you telling me that you got 40% better fuel economy causes great scepticism. I never assume anybody deliberately tells untruths so I must assume that a mistake was made somewhere.
I don't believe that you have somehow discovered a magical formula for excellent fuel economy in a 500sel.
