Hey everyone - the previous owner of my 335i had the MPPK flashed by a 3rd party for a couple hundred bucks as opposed to paying the dealer $1,500 or so.

Never thought this was a problem but when I took the car in for service the other day, they performed a software update on the dme and the ppk was removed.

I’m assuming my only option is to have it reflashed by a third party and run the risk of this happening again, or take it to a dealer and fork over a ton of cash.

Does anyone have experience with this and any solutions beyond the two mentioned? Thanks very much.
