Question edited to what I think, you thought you were saying :>D
Question moved to model category.
All vehicles need 2 good keys.
I don't suppose you have a way of testing the battery voltage? It is drops below 11 volts, nothing works the way It should, including removing the key on a vehicle that is an automatic.
You have the symptoms of a car alarm and immobilizer stopping it starting. After disconnecting the battery, it definitely need resetting. You need a mobile auto locksmith you cut you a new key and program both keys to make it start. People always think they only need one key because they are careful and won't lose it. Then they do and you either pay dealership prices for a key to be made based on the VIN number, or you buy a new lock and keys and have the hassle of fitting it and reprogramming it.

no year car told at all.
using voltmeter
what is battery voltage at idle.?
not told' 13. to 15vdc is par, if below the alternator is dead or its fuses blown.
if ALT is dead, driving the car , far (30min) will make engine stall and be dead,until battery is jump started or charged.
that lamp comes of a reason, it means
fully load test the battery and test the alternator correctly
check all fuses
scan the OBd2 port with a scan tool for charge system errors.
If the battery is bad,the alternator can in fact refuse to charge it.
intermittent battery cell shorts or opens can do that.
batteries over 7 years are , love to fail.
"it turned on after oil leaked flashy/, "
i am not sure what flashy means.
DId the PS pump fail and leak and squirt PS fluid to some electronics
under the hood, that can be vary bad, if did.
be more clear on PS leaks, leaked to where. ? matters
There are lot of videos in this link. Opening and closing an electric or hydraulic hardtop is always going to be difficult because they are so heavy. I had a friend with and Xi5 and he had the soft top / hard top option and he had pulleys and a winch to lower the hardtop because it was only just manageable for 2 people to lift.
The best plan is to get it fixed for automatic operation.

..
get the service manual.
the users guide does not cover relays.
or 2 persons find it.
one key start (cranking)
other one finds the relay that clicks cranked
bingo found, and can click even bad. (contractor burned inside) or starter is bad. ever hot wire a starter , keys in pocket?
or of all are dead , chances are the relay is good and
problem is up stream.(from relay)
PRNDL switch bad, in Park and Neutral both?
key switch failing (bet not)
IMMO lamp glowing wrong and engine is DISABLED.?
try both IMMO keys yet, it came new with 2 keys
battery is bad and dead
battery is only discharged
battery lugs, rusty and loose all 4ends good, 2 cables.
scan the PCM yet, see if it tells you what died?
no country told, and scanning is not the same outside USA.
it is based on secret country you. for sure. 2003
all ours 1996 up is OBD2, we invented it here. EPA.gov mandated. other countries lagged till 2003 or 07 or beyond.
not posting the country makes answers super hard and most times dead wrong.
your X5 has many Range rover parts. 99 up
best is check all fuses first
then scan it, never miss out on the chance it tells you
for example TRS (tran, range switch) errors (PRNDL)
be a shame to mis out on that.
or not cranking? is it? (is cranking dead? or just slow)
shift to Neutral and crank, to see if that works is really first.
covered this is , in the users guide, crank in park or N./
SO DID NOT SCAN THE PCM FIRST SEE RADIO ERRORS OR COMM FAIL TO IT OR??????? MODERN CARS MUST BE SCANNED OR GO BROKE GUE$$ING.
CHECK FUSES FIRST (3 FUSE BOXES HERE)
NOT TOLD AT ALL
CAR DRIVES OK./??????
DO ALL OTHER ELECTRIC THINGS WORK OR NOT.
GEE CHECK ALL FUSES, IF NO MANUALS, OR BUY THE SERVICE MANUALS?
not told is display on RADIO dead too? and all modes fail
AM/FM OR OTHER MODES ALL FAIL. CD FAIL?
OR IS ONLY SATELLITE RADIO DEAD.??>???
THE FREE USERS GUIDE SAYS OPEN HATCH INSIDE GLOVE BOX . NOT FOUND YET THIS? AND UNDER HOOD BOX.
2ND BOX IS CARGO AREA , COVER TO SLIDE OFF.
WE TEST ALL FUSE, NOT GUESS, LACKING SERVICE MANUAL THERE ARE 100+ LOADS ON 20 FUSES, ONLY SERVICE MANUAL ON ANY CAR COVERS ALL LOADS. ON ANY FUSE.
FACTS. SO WE CHECK ALL FUSES, LACKING THE BOOK

GOGGLE HITS.

BUT NOW YOU MUST LEARN GERMAN CRAZY NAMES FOR DEVICES, (NOT REAL NAMES JUST SILLY NUMBERS CODES)
THAT TAKES A REAL MANUAL TO LEARN
OR THIS

GUESS #1
DID NOT LOOK IN ALL 3 FUSE BOXES FOR BLOWN FUSES
DO KNOW THAT MOST HEADENDS ARE THEFT SECURE
AND SOME JUST KILL DEAD SOUND WHEN THE LICENSE CODES IS LOST EVEN MAIN BATTERY DEAD DOES THAT.
ONLY BMW CAN FIX THAT.
NOT SCANNING THE PCM/BCM IS JUST NOT WISE.
CHECK ALL FUSES THEN SCAN THE CAR, OBD2.
The automatic transmission fluid fill location on a 2008 BMW 650i can vary depending on the specific model and transmission type, but generally it is located under the hood and accessed through a dipstick tube.
To locate the dipstick tube for the automatic transmission fluid, follow these steps:
1. Open the hood of the vehicle and locate the transmission fluid dipstick. The dipstick handle is usually yellow, red, or black and is labeled with "ATF" or "trans." 2. Remove the dipstick from the tube and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. 3. Reinsert the dipstick all the way back into the tube and then remove it again. The fluid level on the dipstick should indicate the current level of transmission fluid. 4. If the fluid level is low, you will need to add automatic transmission fluid. To add fluid, remove the dipstick and use a funnel to pour the fluid into the dipstick tube. Be sure to use the correct type of transmission fluid specified in your owner's manual. 5. Check the fluid level again with the dipstick to make sure it is at the correct level. Add more fluid as needed.
Note: It is important to follow the recommended procedure for checking and adding transmission fluid to your BMW 650i to avoid overfilling the system, which can cause damage to the transmission. If you are unsure about the location of the dipstick or how to properly add fluid, consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic for assistance.
depending on your scanner you may not retrieve abs codes check fuses the usual problem is a failed or damaged abs sensor borrow or have a shop run /scan for codes
Hi I have been told that the first thing to do is to check thr power steering fluid level, if not that then you should check that battery voltage is ok and alternator is working ok, hope this was some help all the best.
holy mackerel bat man, its a ****** motor cycle not a car
wow that is so wrong. moved YAH"
the mc and slave can seize up,. for sure using wrong fluids in the mC, or bad luck.
make sure the MC and slave work perfectly first
then if do the clutch main is bad.
a real shop check all that out first then a new clutch pack installed or he finds springs n the cage all wrecked.
what you find i can not guess, but do know how.
mc
this too can seize up
as can any slave made car or bike or scooter
The battery hides just underneath the rear of the fuel tank. The video shows how to replace it by lifting the rear of the tank. This is the new battery specifications
the cooling system needs service .
get some?
do you want 25 guesses?
or all tests to find it.? and tools and how to use those tools.
never run sans STAT it can cause big turbulent problems at the pump impeller. (an new one is what we do, for sure 10 years old is its engineered life span so is DUE.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EpwWtHzpHw
1,2,3
new cap , new STAT
step 3 is find leaks/ on ground or on passengers toes?<heater core.
and lots more sorry not typing them again and did so way too many times here.
the hot coolant is under 15psi, and if there are any leaks
this magical fact (physics) allow you to find leaks easy, .
parked hood up. leaks. find them. even take your time and look hard.
The codes you provided suggest that there may be a problem with the throttle position sensor or the secondary air injection system in your BMW 325i. However, it's important to note that these codes alone may not be enough to diagnose the exact issue.
Here are a few possible causes and troubleshooting steps you can take:
Check the throttle position sensor (TPS) - The TPS is responsible for communicating the position of the throttle to the engine control module (ECM). If the TPS is faulty, it may cause the engine to not start. You can use a multimeter to check the resistance of the TPS and compare it to the manufacturer's specifications. If the TPS is out of range, it may need to be replaced.
Check the secondary air injection system - The secondary air injection system injects air into the exhaust to help reduce emissions. If there is a problem with this system, it can cause the engine to not start. Check the air pump, air pump relay, and check valve to make sure they are functioning correctly.
Check for loose or damaged connections - A loose or damaged connection can cause electrical problems that may prevent the engine from starting. Check the battery connections, ground connections, and all wiring harnesses to make sure they are secure and free from damage.
Check the fuel system - If the fuel system is not functioning correctly, it can cause the engine to not start. Check the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator to make sure they are working correctly.
If you're not comfortable performing these steps yourself, you may want to consider taking your BMW to a certified mechanic for diagnosis and repair. They will be able to use diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs.
