Hi all!

My mate has not used his V Reg 323i In a while, and when we came to it last night, the damn thing wouldn't unlock at all.

We don't have a fob key, just a normal key, and when we tried to unlock it, nothing happened at all.

Luckily, the total closure windows DID work and wound down, and we tried to start the car and god nothing, we bump started it and left it running a while, but still wouldn't open the doors, even with the internal lock button.

You can hear ALL the doors trying to open, but just not popping the pins up at all.

Luckily again, we managed to get the boot open, and stick the battery on a trickle charger, and we are sooooo hoping that its just the battery thats at fault.

We are still leaving it charging at the moment to get it 100% charged.

anyone experienced anything like this before, and what are the chances that it is the battery... and if not, what could the problem be :s

Cheers for any help!

:EDIT:

Battery fully charged, and its exactly the same!

My god this is annoying haha could it be the GM5 module??

Id have said lack of batt power or just sticky door/lock solenoids as its been sitting a while,once in the car you should be able to free them by locking/unlocking the doors by the inside handle a few times.Or can you not get in at all ??

Managed to get in by using the total closure windows and having them open up, and pulling at any handle just does nothing O.o

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?

      3.0i starter motor

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…
