If you take your registration ducument to a BMW dealership they will tell you the code for free, based on the VIN number.
Or look in the Glovebox for a small white sticker, or in the Owner's manual.
But, I found this
BMW hasn't used a "radio code" since the beginning of the e38/e39/e53/e46 generation of BMWs. That technology ended with the anti-theft radios used in BMWs prior to the aforementioned e series.
The code you see appearing on your nav screen or MID (you didn't indicate which radio setup you have)...is an anomaly of the OBC's immobilizing code probably brought on by the low voltage issues you were having. There have been many threads on this topic across multiple BMW forums in that usually a simple use of "0000" or "1234" works to get past the lockout once the battery issue or low voltage issue is fixed...or initiating the emergency deactivation of the CODE found in the owner's manual.

Hi Amanda, When you get an error code and that problem is fixed you need to reset the codes by disconnecting your battery, The thing with disconnecting your battery is you loose your car settings IE: radio, electric seat... Make sure you have your codes...CHEERS..
the radio may have a security code in it so if it is stolen it will not work you will have to either check your users hand book or talk to the dealer to find out the code in the radio & reset it, once the power is disconnected from a radio that has a security code activated it will not work until it is recoded.....hope this helps.....cheers.

the radio is in security mode and requires a 4 digit code to release the radio back into operation. the code is usually inside the owners manual on a preforated type card. maybe first couple pages. (if the manual is still even in there) or maybe previous owner has written it down in manual somewhere. if not then the dealer may have to extract it through their scanner. may cost $$. the 4 digit code will start with 1 or 0 if you happen to find code, reply back to me and ill help you enter it, may be in manual as well. hope this helps
Turn on radio - the word SAFE will appear in the display. Press th P.SCAN and RBDS buttons simultaneously and hold them down until "1000" lights up in the display.Release buttons.Do not, under no circumtances, continue holding them down or press them once again. This will cause the radio to consider the number 1000 to be the input code.Use station buttons 1,2,3,and 4 to enter the code number on your Radio Card. Use the button 1 to enter the first number 2 for the second number 3 for the third number and 4 for the last number.Once you have entered the code and it shows on the display,press the P.SCAN and RBDS buttons down again simultaneously and hold them down until the word SAFE appears in the display.Release buttons. Soon afterwards a frequency will be displayed.
