they dont get repaired!!! they get replaced...
the dealerships send the old one back to BMW AG, and they get reprogrammed, and then recirculated
you wont get a control unit for this ANYWHERE, except from BMW Dealers
unless you get one out of a breaker...

do they do ANY control unit for ANY BMW? 'coz we've all been told that you cannot get any of them anywhere
...then again, i just realised why they'd tell us that!!!
