You will only be able to have this done at a BMW dealer because of the style of keys that is used. It will proably be very costly, so I would look into seeing if insurance would cover it.

BMW x3 2005 electric windows full down and will not go up. Imobiliser also not working. Car starts ok and central locking also ok.

Hi Savageh. I would check the fuses in the glove box. You should have a fuse guide that lists which fuses are which. My diagram says fuse 57 is for your model year x3.

BMW X3 Doesn't Start

Might be as simply as a new battery. Remove battery from vehicle and bring it to a repair shop or Sears Auto Center (they are the battery, and charging system Kings) and have them load test the battery. If battery fails purchase a new battery . Once the vehicle is up and running take it back to them and have them test the charging system and determine whether the vehicle has battery drain .

Integration mp3 player to 2005 x3

call a BMW dealer and talk to either your salesman or parts. ask them if they can run your VIN to see if it is prewired for a CD changer (assuming you don't see the wiring in the rear compartment). all they will need is the last 7 digits of the VIN.

BMW does sell an IPOD controller, but i think DICE makes a better one. check them out here:

Lost keys require new locks for BMW X3

replacing the complete lock set with the EWS control unit can be expensive as the control unit will also need to be programed and/or encoded, however if the lost keys cannot be found and you are sure they cannot be used to steel you car you can just order replacement keys from your local bmw dealer. hope this is of some help. You will also nead to disable the lost keys if you order replacements rather than a complete set.
