£650 seems a bit steep - I would get a second opinion. North Oxford BMW quoted me £450 originally about 3 months ago - I complained about the fact that there were so many DSC faults that have occured and I did not have a full BMW service history (I like working on BMW myself but still using BMW parts). The end result is that they paid towards the cost of the repair part - about £140 off and a bill less than half of your quote. I was VERY impressed with North Oxford BMW and for BMW UK making this offer.
Really, the DSCs are failing way too early on lots of these cars, so I suggest that you try another dealer and express your dissapointment that the DSC has failed so quickly on a car that is a "prestige marque". In my opinion it is bordering on a safety critical design flaw that could end in an accident.
Finally, if you get no satisfaction, then there's always consumer TV programs that seem to love this type of thing. Although, that's a bit of a thermo-nuclear option!!!
Good luck
