That's not the impression I got...I'll have to find the PDF somewhere but IIRC the FSC is more like an encrypted VIN signed with BMW's private key....which the CIC has also.

Therefore, as long as the VIN in the FSC matches the VIN in the CIC, and as long as the two private keys match, you're golden. So if you could get the CIC to have the same VIN as the FSC you have access to, in theory it may work.
