Hi Bro and Sis,
I have a 09' E90. Recently my remote key failed and couldn't get the car started. I opened the door with manual key and tried slot in my key to try and start the engine but it does not respond at all. I guess it may be electrical failure instead of just the remote key failure (tried on both set). I finally get it working after I open the boot and bonnet (but I did not do anything to it except open and close). Drive to both PML and and outside workshop and it came back nothing. Diagnostic check that all are well. Damn.... I have been living with this problem for the past week. Every day must open the bonnet and close it to wake the car up, hahaha....
Anyone have come across this problem before? Have you got it fixed?
Summary;
1) No matter how hard you press or stand at whichever direction, the remote just don work.
2) Manual open the door, slot the remote key, it just won't start.
3) Like most people do when car broke down, open the bonnet and look see (but don't know what's wrong). Close it, tried the remote again and BINGO... it works.
4) Manage to start the engine and drove to destination without problem. No fault signal or whatsoever.
5) Everyday this issue will happen and for the past week, it is the most times I have open a bonnet since owning a car, haiz...
6) Brought to workshops and it was given a clean bill of health. What the heck... It just behave well when I'm not with her.
Going to send back to workshop for a full day diagnosis and hopefully issue could be detected. If not... I don't know what to do anymore.
If anyone encounter such issue and manage to get it resolve, please share with me. I would greatly appreciate your kindness.
Thanks,
Lipp
