OMG, are you serious? Sad to hear... Do the interior light dim when you close the doors? The remote won't work when there's a "door open" signal.
Only one other thing I can think of is the microswitch in the glass panel of the trunk. You can easily detach a plug in the panel to test, seems to be a regular troublemaker too.
Though one, looking forward to your results.

My Ride: 2004 E61 530D - Dynamic Drive - Active Front Steering Sport Seats - Voice Control - Head Up Display - Nav Pro - Bluetooth - Panoramic roof - Front/rear heated seats
Well the unit arrived and i eagerly installed but wait for it ........... it's not the problem. 
So i have checked the wiring with a multimeter.
Checked for codes but nothing.
Replaced the diversty anntena with no luck
Replaced the battery in my key, checked to see if its charging and discharging but no signs of an issue 3.25 to 3.45 volts after 45 mins drive.
Checked my door and windows for signs of failure but nothing.
I have contacted two BMW dealers and they have not got a clue in my opinion, just sugested a new key or antenna.
I still think that rain fall affects the operation but no underlining proof.
HAS ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS???????
IF BMW DONT KNOW WHO WILL??????
PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE ITS DRIVING ME CRAZZZZZY!!!!!!!!!!
