Check with your local BMW dealer. If there is supposed to be more than one key for your vehicle, they can not only tell you, but they can also cut a new key by looking up your key codes using the VIN on your car. If there is supposed to be only one key for your vehicle, they can assist you in getting any malfunctioning key cylinders repaired or replaced.

It could well be a voltage problem. An occasional dip or spike in voltage can cause all kinds of problems with BMW electrical systems.
I would get a voltmeter and try monitoring the voltage at my lighter outlet while I drove around for a day or two, You should make sure that the battery terminals are clean, and you should clean the main grounds at the battery and under the hood (hard to find) and check the ground strap that grounds the engine to the body. The ground strap is likely is next to an engine mount.
