You will need a obd 2 scan tool to clear any codes stored in the system.

SOURCE: 2002 BMW 325i - engine won't turn over / start.

take battery back get a new one or have it tested. like auto zone or a parts store even wal-mart now. If this battery was just dead and needed charged. Then sounds like to me you have a bad alternater. you can rely know if you can get the battery charged up and get the car to start. and while the car is running pull the positive connection of the battery if car dies bad alternater .

SOURCE: check engine light comes on but car runs great 2002 bmw 325i and

The check engine light could be any number of things and the only way to find out is have the codes scanned. The brake light issue is common on E46 3 series. It is an issue were the brown ground wire that goes into the lamp housing melts at the connector causing a loose ground connection. The connector needs to be replaced and also add additional grounding wires to prevent further issues. And for fuel additives either use the cheveron techron, or the bmw fuel additive(the bmw stuff is the exact same thing, so just use which ever is cheaper).

SOURCE: How do I remove the cover on a 2002 325i BMW tail

Do you need to change a bulb or are you changing to custom lamps. If it is bulb replacement open trunk/boot (depending where you live ) the access for the tail lamps is at the rear corners of the trunk, If you are changing lamp lenses or assembly remove the screws( same location ) at lamp corners

How do you reset the antitheft system in a 2003 BMW 325I I have literally no power at all not whatsoever

No lights, nothing? Not anti-theft, that only stops you starting the engine. Check the big fuse on the battery.

Could be battery be flat?

Ultimately, it is a BMW, so you will probably have to get the dealership to tow it, unless it is a simple flat battery. So many FUSES!

I have a 1996 bmw 325i coupe, my check engine light is on because of the cold air intake on it, and also the airbag light is on, how do i turn these off.?

You can try to buy a obd tool, around 30-50 dollars, and reset the codes. But they will probably just come back on after awhile.
