I'm guessing I need to completely rewire this...suggestions?

Yes, I have dealt with it also. getbmwparts.com find the wire repair kit. cut the old connector off, strip the two wires make sure they look decent, re-pin it, and then your almost done. When it happened to my 08 135i, it ended up needing some kind of coding since it was burnt to shit. It trips something, but doesn't trigger a light in the dash. If you have a ODB reader, you might be able to see it and reset it yourself, but when it happened to mine several years ago, I didn't own one yet.
