Trouble With My 1998 M3

[Need-4-Speed]

Back in January, cylinder #6 in my 1998 M3 stopped functioning and the Check Engine light came on. Further inspection revealed a melted coil. I replaced the coil and the problem persisted, melting another coil. Unable to figure out what was wrong, I took the car to my local BMW shop (not a dealer) and here's what they did:

Replaced coil and injector. Did not cure the problem.
Checked the wiring harness. Found nothing wrong.
Replaced the ECM and this cured the problem for about 5 days, at which time, the problem returned.

Does anyone out there have any idea what could be wrong? I've spent $500 in diagnostics with this guy, who is not fixing the problem. (The rest was covered my warranty) I want to be sure he is not just stringing me along.

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

something like this should be seen by the dealership.

The dealership put in another brand-new ECM and so far the car is running fine. What are the odds of 2 of those things going bad within 1 month?

Test your distributor.

i may be wrong, but he has coils, which means no distributor , right?
