Any ideas people?

535d the key works fine but only if i'm 1 meter away from the car.

Very fustrating, its fully charged etc.,..

Anyone got any ideas?

How is the radio reception? from what i read on the forum there is an amplifier in one of the rear pilars for the antenna. if this is bad it'll explain why your getting bad remote signal. I believe in the DIY section there is someone who replaced it. do a search.

Thanks Bimmerchop.

I will have a search for it.

Thanks, looks like i need to call the dealer i brought the new steed from, and so the fun begins.....

Am i the only person that HATES car dealers/mechanics etc. They all lie and cheat to make some cash!

Thankfully i have faith in one BMW tech as he is my mate, the rest i'm afraid are scum....

Just needed to get that off my chest as i know they will say its not covered by warranty......
