Hi fellow BMWers So, here's my problem... I've owned a BMW 116i Petrol for the last 5/6 years. I was driving with a friend in my car on the weekend where randomly the passenger door just wouldn't unlock via the electronic key, or manually via the inside of the car. This was strange as when my...

Hi, since we bought the car a couple of years ago we have had the problem that the key fob does not work when its sunny. There is no problem with it in the winter and even in the summer it works fine first thing in the morning. As soon as the car has been sat in the sun for a while the key fob...

Hi all, I've owned my 1999 2.8L BMW Z3 for almost 2 years and it appears to have developed a parasitic battery drain problem. The car has been faultless during my ownership barring the central locking not working on the driver's door, but I've never been fussed by this. I don't drive the car...

Hi all, This morning my key fob would not unlock the car doors or boot, I had to unlock the driver's door via the key to open the door. However when I press the BMW button on the key fob the doors will lock. I have the diamond shaped key fob. Would anyone know if this is caused by the battery...

Hi there everyone, i'm having a very annoying issue with my warning sounds. When i open my driver door, it does not show up on my display as open, and the interior lights dont turn on. And when i leave my headlights on, the warning chime does not sound. I know the speaker works, since i still...

Hello everyone, 1st time posting. Ok, so about 2 months ago i bought my first e46, love it, but my remote locking never worked. I did my research, apparently tourings are cursed and the wires in the tailgate loom always break, took mine apart and found multiple broken wires. Fixed them and i...

Hi All, I've searched high and low and a number of BMW forums for guidance on my issue without success. I recently bought an E30 which had been off the road for some time but came from my friend with MOT. After connecting the battery, a short trip to the petrol station and back, I locked it...

Hi All, I am new to the forum. It's great to find a forum all about bimmers and hopefully able to get advise along the way. I've just picked up a 118i E87 2006 model with a few issues. Can anyone help me with why my keyless fob won't lock the car, only unlock it. I am having to manually lock...

Hi, I have a 2005 320 convertible and recently had to jump start it as the battery was too low to start the car. With this, my key fob has also stopped working at the same time. My key fob controls central locking, opening the boot and opening the power roof. I have recently had a new battery...

My E36/5 does have a central lock system, but I still need to unlock the car by twisting the key in the lock, which is a pain since the locks always freeze during winter. But I was thinking if the car already has a remote receiver installed with the central locking system, or is it something i...

I have a real problem with faulty central locking. I know that the actuators work, just not all the time. Is it a matter of simply replacing them or can they be repaired or freed off?

So today i thought i might rectify the boot wiring my 840 was suffering from and it was apparent that someone else had done a bad repair job first using crimps with the wrong pliers and really bas soldering and taping. The left hand side looked dodgy but it was working, however the right hand...

so i just fitted a new head unit and sub last week and everything was all working perfectly but today after i finished hiding the cables the self leveling warning light came on and the parking sensors have stopped working, also the central locking on the key fob has stopped. central locking as a...
