E85 BCM sourcing and coding

So in the on going issue with my indicator flashing fast, the mechanic has narrowed it down to the body control module. No surprise there really. Good news, it did pass the MOT with the fast flashing as it fell just short of the limit of 120 flashes per minute! Madness.

He gave me a number for a guy, but I'm wondering would it be cheaper to source one myself and bring it to him, or does anyone here have the ability to code these things on the forum if I source one?
 
I assume you mean GM5?
Probably worth seeing if you can get another one to slave in first to see if it fixes it.
However, I would expect it to be more likely to be the Light Control Module surely?

If the BCM is a generic BMW term and it's in fact the GM5 in the E85, then yes!
However, when googling this, people were mentioning this. And this is what the mechanic said that it was - the body control module.
When googling it though it does very similar to the GM5 module.
