IM F*CKING PISSED!!!!

Nick called me and said he couldnt flash it because my ECU hasnt been updated ever since it came out of the factory. That would be in 1996. So i wasted money in shipping alone to send it and get it back. He said he can get a friend/time for him to take it to the dealer himself then for him to program it but it could take a week. And with the socal ti Meet that is coming up im not taking that chance so i said ill get it back take it to the dealer, then send it back to him again. Where im lost is, isnt he already going to reprogram it? Why does he need it updated if hes reprogramming it anyways.

So i called the dealer and i simply asked "How much would it cost for you guys to update my ECU" then the guy was asking me a billion questions as to why i need it updated and bla bla bla....So then i got pissed off and told him, "Dont worry about what im doing, im simply asking how much would it cost to update it THATS IT. Dont worry about why i need it or why i want it or what my plans with it or not. Your gonna get paid for the damn work now tell me how much it costs to update the damn ecu." Anyway, he said it would be $130. By the dealer updating the ECU, what do they have to do or update? Whens the last time BMW updated their systems?

TIA.
