How long did you leave it there? Might take longer if you never use it before.

Do you have Comfort Access? If so, then you may need to replace the battery (not rechargeable through the key slot).

If you don't have CA, does the car turn on when the key is placed in the slot?

Probably not but do you think I actually read that sig before posting?

(Keep in mind that I usually try to answer stuff in way that may be helpful down the road for other members that do a search, etc. Now if we could only get people to actually search... )

No way. I actually caught your mistake, Rudy!

This is great. I'm gonna frame this.

eBay? The money I make won't cover the fee. I'd sell it here under a different screen name of course, like BMWPOWER or BMWBEAST
