I had this happen to me when I brought mine in for the seatbelt recall. It was almost a week before I got my car back. I guess the computer crashed during re-programming, causing a failure of several of my car modules (key recognition, navigation...) Dealership was doing everything they can...even called in the regional/national "master tech" to help. I guess there used to be an easier way for them to diagnose with master techs...but BMW NA downsized those jobs, meaning now they have to write back to National or even Germany for an answer. At least that's what my SA told me.

Computers in cars do suck...but it will sell.
