Just to follow up. Got nowhere with everything I tried. Towed to shop, they confirmed that the EWS and DME were misaligned. $99 later I drove it home.



My first breakdown in four years of ownership. I'm obviously disappointed, but iin hindsight that's probably not bad for an 18-year-old BMW. And it really wasn't much of a hassle since I don't need to drive anywhere with the quarantine.
