It seems to be called a "voltage converter". Here is the part:

Keep us posted on what the dealership says. You're still under warranty, I assume? If so, at least you have nothing to worry about, especially since it's a lease.

Keep the VIN around, and track it. Will be surprised to see what BMW will decide to do with it, and if it will have a dirty Carfax.

Thanks for all the replies fellas. It definitely was a scary thing to experience. We never expect things like this to happen since these cars are so new but after all they are just that, cars. Anything can go wrong at any given moment. The car is currently at the dealership and I'm awaiting a call from them. It is still under warranty so that gives me some piece of mind. These tools that some of you have posted look very handy to have. I might have to invest in a few for mine and my wife's car. I will keep everyone posted as I am very curious myself as to what happened.
