After we get all these fixed we need to check the ECU and engine.

Wowza! My reservoir tank leaked/rptured on my E46 but it was Winter and I suddenly wasn't getting heat. Took the heat from auto mode into regular, and noticed the engine temp started to climb. Shut the car down and had it towed at that point. You bring up an interesting point though with no temp gauge on the F22 and losing electronics, no way of knowing if you are having an issue.
Good Luck, hope you don't get stuck too bad in the cash department.
