judging from your previous posts, it seems you jump started your car several times. i hope you never applied the booster while the ignition was on. thats not good. always take the key out of the ignition before you connect a booster.
always change a battery at first sign of a problem, otherwise it may lead to more problems. low voltage and surges from a booster can cause electrical problems.

Hey crusher sorry for the late reply but I was on family vacation with the little ones. Haven't drove the car yet, been using my other one. But what exactly does MPM stand for? And where do I begin to look to see if mine is fried.

Did some research last night, found out what the MPM was and sure enough, it's partially melted! Crusher thanks a million! I would have never known and would have spent a ton at BMW to have them take a look at the car since it is out of warranty. Now to replace this thing. Found this site,

Should be back in business soon
