Need help with key not working on my 2001 330
I am having issues with arming / disarming my 330.
The dealership said that there is a BMW letter indicating that if I do not drive more than 15 minutes, the key does not have time to charge. I drive to work for 5-10 mintes everyday, so BMW and my dealership have told me to live with it (in so many words.) Any comments or assistance? |

I'd spend at least two of those hours exploring some interesting, scenic roads and charging my key at the same time. Tom |

Tom,
I agree. I do during the summer, however not as much in the winter. After I posted this thread, my dealership charged my keys and brought my car back to my work. The keys did not work when they arrived at my office. They now suspect a short or a faulty security system module. Even if they find out that it is bad, I still plan on driving more, once this snow is gone.
