My X5 suffered electrical issues that almost drove me to the edge, the only solution offered was changing modules. Eventually I traced it to one of the earth points in the boot. BMW use a Comb type connector so that many items can be connected to a common point, with mine I removed it cleaned it and the area around it used some electrical connection paste (same as used to seat the chip in a computer) then tightened everything up. Issues gone !! It still took a few months for me to actually believe they were gone for good, so I worked my way through the earth points (there are several) making sure the mounting points were all clean and tight.

Don't know if it apples here but its free and if it works
