Lost radio code, how to reset, 2003 BMW X5 E53 4.4 please?

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. and this confirms it is the immobilizer code https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2270312-radio-code ..

Lost keys dead battery how do I get in my car ?

Give the dealership the VIN number and ask them to get you two keys and fobs. Get under the engine and connect a battery charger positive to the starter motor Red power wire, and the negative of the charger to the body. Then call the locksmith - auto electrician - alarm installer back and ask him to register the key to the anti-theft system. Then with the battery charger still connected, put a new fully charge battery into the vehicle. Job done. Or sell it for parts.

When closing the drivers door the window is to drop 1/2 inch. Passenger side does

That is more that one item causing that. You need a good auto-electrician with a scan tool computer or the dealership.

2003 BMW X5 E53. Why doesn't the CD cartridge eject?

There could be several reasons why the CD cartridge is not ejecting from your 2003 BMW X5 E53. Here are some steps you can try to get it out and potential causes of the issue:
  1. Check the CD player: First, make sure that the CD player is on and functioning properly. If the player is not working, it may not be able to eject the cartridge. Check the player for any error messages or signs of malfunction.
  2. Press the eject button: Try pressing the eject button on the CD player. If the cartridge is still not ejecting, you may need to try a different method.
  3. Use a thin object: If the eject button is not working, you can try using a thin object, such as a paperclip or needle, to press the eject button. Insert the object into the small hole near the eject button and push gently. This may release the cartridge.
  4. Check the cartridge: If the cartridge is still not ejecting, there may be a problem with the cartridge itself. Check the cartridge for any signs of damage or wear. Make sure that the CDs are properly inserted into the cartridge.
  5. Check the CD player mechanism: If the cartridge is not damaged and the CD player is functioning properly, the issue may be with the CD player mechanism. In this case, you may need to take the car to a mechanic or a BMW dealership for repair.
It's worth noting that some BMW models have a security feature that prevents the CD cartridge from ejecting if the battery has been disconnected or the car has been jump-started. If this is the case, you may need to enter a security code to unlock the CD player before you can eject the cartridge. Check your car's manual for instructions on how to enter the security code.
