Forget about locking and unlocking the doors from any distance more than 20ft. To troubleshoot, I did open my D-Antenna module and is as clean as new inside.

Any ideas ???
This is a problem I have been experiencing, as has my local dealership. I've found that my front door handles aren't as effective/reliable as the rear door handles (similar to what you've mentioned.)

What I can add is that after performing a tail-gate wiring harness repair on a friend's E61, we observed incredible improvement of both remote triggering door locks as well as comfort-access responsiveness. I have it on my schedule to do the hinge repair on my E61 this July. I'm also picking up a new diversity antenna for follow-up testing

I think I will wait for your feedback on this. Its just too weird for a luxury brand like BMW to have these kind of issues, especially when they provide this as an option and charge a premium for it.

I picked up a nice s/h car but with fobs not working. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I had to sort all the hinge wiring AND the antenna.
I suggest checking out all the wiring first, before splashing out on a new antenna.
