My problem magically went away.

Don't know what happened but the story is, I had bought the car used and the dealer told me it was from a BMW auction. I bought the car with a check from my credit union and they sent the title and paperwork to the wrong credit union. My credit union gave me a call around 2 months later looking for the title, so I contacted the dealer. They straightened everything out that day and by the next day my credit union had already received the electronic title.

My car is a weekend car, and this all finished up on a Thursday. The next day I decided to drive the car to work and the problem was gone. Hasn't came back since (knock on wood). I spoke to my buddy that works at BMW as a mechanic and he said he has heard of BMW sending your car updates through the satellite computer but never actually seen it happen.

Till today it is still a mystery to me and him as how it just magically went away. But the only thing we can think of was the car was in a limbo ownership status and when everything was cleared up. BMW cleared up the computer.
