This is how I do it for my e46's remote.

Definitions: button 1 on the keys is the one closest to the metal part of
>the key ( the unlock button); button 2 is the middle button with the BMW logo(the
>lock button).
>
>1. Open the car doors.
>
>2. Get in and close (don't lock) all the doors.
>
>3. Put the key in the ignition and switch momentarily to position 1 which is
>the first position when you turn the key clockwise. This is the accessory
>position (Dont start the car). Don't stay in position 1 longer than 5 seconds; then turn the key
>back to the off position.
>
>4. Remove the key.
>
>5. On the key transmitter, press and hold button 1(unlock button). Press and release button
>2 (lock button)three times within 10 seconds while still pressing button 1.
>
>6. Then release button 1(unlock button).
>
>7. The system indicates successfull re-programming by locking and immediately unlocking
>the door locks.
>
>8. If you want to do more remotes, you must do each within 30 seconds of
>step 7 for the preceding key. You just need to repeat steps 5 through 7 for
>each key after the first.

Hope it works for you guys.
