Showing a single fuel-up

Fuel control module was dying: attempt to drive to Arizona found it burning out more frequently: I got to Barstow with two deaths, and three more to get back to mom's. Dream Car Repair is about the only one that services BMWs in the High-Desert. The new part cost ~$390 [I should/could have bought it on my own when it first died a month ago!]. Needed it programmed too, but they would not do it because it takes hours and they need to close. So I couldn't get it done before the weekend, and had to borrow mom's car [both to get to Arizona and to get home]. Then it still wasn't ready when mom was trying to get it taken care of because then it needed a new battery [another $200+] and programming, which again did not et done before the end of the weekend, so I had to wait another week... Returned two weeks later to get my car, it sounds like it is all done. Worked okay to get home, no more problems, but I have to clear the service reminders for oil, wheel rotate, and general service. Probably spent over $1100 on it all.
