Check the fan belts and power steering belt, also the crankshaft pully could be free spinning

SOURCE: Replace battery in key

If you have the diamond shape key, the battery is not replacable. If you have the square shaped key, the battery is replacable, but that is obvious because of the screws on the back of the remote.if you have the diamond shape key, it is recharged when its inserted into the ignition. If the key hasn't failed, taking a long trip 60 min. or longer should recharge the battery. If there is no change in the operation of the key after your long trip, most likely the key has failed and needs replacement.

The belt diagrams are usually on the underside of the hood or on the crossmember at the front of the engine bay.

SOURCE: what kind of power steering fluid should I use for

I know E46's use ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluids) for their power-steering systems. BMW Reccomends to use a common Dextron III / Mercon Automatic Transmission Fluid.

2001 325ci battery light came on, power steering not working.

Check under the hood to see if you have a broken belt. The belt that runs the alternator probably runs the power steering. This is why both problems occurred at the same time. If you or someone replace the belt, you should be OK soon. GOOD LUCK.

Sometimes one key does not start my 2001 325 ci bmw

If it's not turning the car switch over the key itself is wore out. Get a new key made and they will change out the transponder for you, costs about $10.00 also be sure you don't have a lot of keys hanging on your key chain because this will cause the lock to fail early or wear out the key.

I have a bmw 2001 325ci I could not turn the steering wheel at all this morning please help

Broken drive belt perhaps to the power steering pulley? If so just fit a new one. The steering will still work but boy it will be heavy - you'll know what your arm muscles are for!! Do not drive it for long (10 minutes maximum) without the belt as the alternator needs to be driven to recharge the battery plus the water pump needs to circulate the coolant!!

Terrible noice when I turn the steering wheel on my 2001 BMW 325i

Make sure you check your power steering fluid... if it's even low, it will make a terrible noise...run it on empty too long and your can ruin your power steering pump.
