I'll follow up with the dealer today after they get back to me with a quote. I'm hoping they surprise me today with better news, but not holding my breath.
Do all dealers not do module coding at all and just order new units directly from Germany?
I'll post back with any updates.
Thanks!

Agree- I dont think the CAS should stop a running car.
What makes you say you do not have CAS? Are you equating CAS=Comfort Access? I dont think this is accurate, google around for the pdf on comfort access and CAS. The "car Access System" is much broader than just reading key fobs.
BMW dealers DO NOT do coding. They buy a 'virgin' CAS, which will then accept a marriage to your cars VIN. Smart coders find this hilarious....
I could see the car- after a failed fuel pump, and they run the battery down, the CAS loses EWS sync and they become preoccupied with that...just a WAG.
and finally recognize diesel BMWs are pretty popular outside of USA. But still, its not in their DNA it seems.
GL!
