Hi Mark you could try to see if re-programming the key might do it, you could also disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and see if it resets that way...to re-program the key this is what you do, please follow by the book or it wont work, this however is just a trial to see if it will do the job, if reprogramming the key does not do it, then disconnect the battery for ten minutes and then try re-programming of the key...
1, unlock the car with the key ( not fob) get in and shut the door
2, switch ignition on and then off ( do not try to run it just on then off)
3, remove ignition key
4, press and hold unlock button
5, press lock button 3 times quickly all within ten seconds keeping the unlock button pressed
6, release unlock button
7 ( if you have this type of key fob) the led will flash slowly for 10 seconds
8,( if you have this type of key fob) the central locking system will lock and unlock rapidly to indicate correct programming
9 ( if you have this type of key fob) repeat procedure if the led flashes constantly, or the locking system does not unlock and lock rapidly
please follow as directed..if you have any problems understanding what to do, please contact me on email address

hope this helps
Have tried everything to overcome the hot starting problem on the BMW 1998 TDS. New glow plugs and injectors,feul and air filters.Checked for feul and air leaks in system. Only when it is hot do you sometimes battle to start it. No every time. Sometimes it starts fine and a minute later you struggle again. Once started the car performs exellent and has no other problems. To me it sounds like a feul starvation problem. Once when it did not want to start I took the feul filter off and found it to be half full with feul only. filled it and it started immediately. The problem is only when the engine is hot.
