Glad to hear there just may be light at the end of this very dark tunnel for you. The vast majority of dealers are very reputable but, with that said there are a few (not many) that are far from it. I'm not implying your dealer is inept, but in my opinion they sure dropped the ball on this one, and good call contacting BMW NA. I believe in doing so prompted the dealers to finally call you back with the update. BMW NA = loyal, dealers = hit 'n miss. Good luck

I hope it all works out for you. It's very frustrating when you buy a car and it just doesn't work right. Please update us

+1 and based on the OP's recent updates this has "motivated" the dealer to get on the stick instead of trying to stick it where the sun don't shine!
Sometimes a just gotta call home and tell 'em baby's misbehavin

Replacing the DME should fix the problem. It sounds like the DME (the brain that controls almost everything) has failed or is faulty. There are DME issues across the BMW product line so it's not too surprising. It's in your favor. It is a good fix since they've replaced everything else already!

Either that, or he just got up the nerve to hit on her. lol

All the best with your situation and hope it works out in your favor.
