I been told that the keys battery was dead and the key decoded it self tried recoding the key but wouldn't accept the full code so had to get new key.

There is a clip on YouTube on reprogramming your key if it just a battery change worth trying first mine didn't work but still glad I tried

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

It will work, just needs following to the letter and maybe four attempts lol

If I remember rite turn ignion on just so the dash lights up then turn it off take key out press and hold alarm button and press BMW button 3 time the doors will lock if it works but as soon as you take the key out you have 30 second to press buttons don't worry you can't do it any harm just do I all in one swoop turn on turn off pull out press and hold while pressing BMW 3 times job done . good luck
