TerminatorX5 is on a distinguished road
a used LCM can be programmed to a higher mileage than it presently has, same goes for cluster... along with a VIN number... there are only so many attempts left for the programming of either of the two... dealers will stay away from a used LCM (or cluster) as they are discouraged by the BMW AG to touch used LCMs or clusters, while independents might be able to help out...
on a component level, if the EEPROM is not fried, you can try to replace the MOSFETs but it might prove to be a hard task... with fried EEPROM, might as well get a new LCM, that might also have some new functions, like fogs together with highbeams, or whatnot...
