That sounds like a module with errors that need to be cleared. It may not be a bad module.

Seems like the faults and shadow faults could be cleared (perhaps in conjunction with power cycling the car and ECU with a battery disconnect) to clear the error. It's worth a try.

Do you have access to a Bavarian Techic, P.A. Soft, or similar scanner (that mimics the GT1 diagnostic head)? It's possible to clear deep BMW specific errors with those. If not, I would try an indie shop to see if they can clear the fault first. I wouldn't trust the dealer on this w/o a second independent opinion.
