You need cloning software to be able to program a used DME to the car. You'll be better off finding a company that does it. The cloning software is around $2k you can find a company around $400 to send you a cloned DME.

Your DME and CAS are synced together for the car to start. You have to either clone a used DME or go to a shop and have a new one out in.

Idea:

You don't live too far from FCP Euro in Milford.

There is a FCP BMW club in the area with a ton of talent and connections.

One of those guys could be physically helpful.

Joining a local BMW club is always a good option.
