anyone know where these can be repaired

at 209 notes plus vat for a new one i wana find a cheaper option

[stuartgallafant]

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...

These CAN be repaired properly with a guarantee for about £70 including p+p . Try Phil at CPC 07960280953.

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!!!
