Default Cylinder 4,5,6 misfire on e60. ECU?

My 2008 535i got really mad but was able to limp to my mechanic. Misfire on 4,5, 6. Mechanic swapped ignition coils from 1,2,3 with 4,5,6. Still misfired 4,5,6. Mechanic says not getting fuel.
A guy who repairs BMW computers says it is the processor inside the ecu and can repair for 350.
Looking for any comments.
Thanks in advance

Can I test the MOSFETS myself with a meter?

yes you can.


for what its worth, when the electrician tested my DME, they tested good. as well as when i tested before i brought it in.

its an easy job for anybody that knows how to microsolder so i had him do it anyway. Ive read of others with the same results as well. Test good but worked after replacement.
