Hi. Having a wiper and sprayer issue where they turn on by themselves. Tried new battery.i really think the bcm is messed up.. i have a 06 r53.. can i get a similiar yr bcm and just plug it in?
I have heard of a couple people getting lucky with a BCM on exact options and model , but only a couple people have it work. Most of the time it require a new BCM which then has to be flashed to the car by a MINI Dealership.
You can try the wiper stalk first but if the BCM got wet or you have a sunroof and water leaked into the floor area , that might point to the BCM. The stalk is the cheaper part to try first , make sure you get the right one , with the yellow flasher end and itf you have auto wipers or not. Thanks
If you go per the bible you must buy a new BCM and code it to the car, that said you can plug a used BCM into your car and fix your issue for 85% cheaper than a new unit.
