Ouchies....sorry for the X.....hope it makes it out alive.....
Ask them for the nicest BMW loaner they got...because they may have a 530 or something in the back...and if you only ask for an X...they may not give it to you...have fun in Vegas!

If a transmission fails from a pre facelift, can you throw in a transmission from a 2004+?

So I guess what ever happened triggered the DSC, which might have cut the throttle and hit the brakes, which would add to the issues....

One possible cause is water getting into the control unit box. The control unit box is located just under the hood left vent. It happened to me once after a huge storm the car started displaying all kinds of error including the TRANS FAILSAFE one. After I let it dry it worked fine. I since have protected the box with a plastic film. Never had the issue since.
