How do I fix my key remote on my BMW X5 2001
your key has lost its program it just means your key is on its last leg just go to the bmw dealership they can turn the key back on for you it takes about 5min or less they should not charge you---btw you do not replace key batteries for the bmw they are rechargeble thru the ignition you just have to buy another key from the dealership when it finally calls it quits...note bmw north amercia only authorizes 10 keys to be issued per vin number if a car reaches this limit you can not get a key from the dealer ever....
2001 bmw x5 , it is starting to get a slugest start anytime it starts , but after warmed up opk ,and had check engine light come on same time
HelloWhen the service engine
soon light (Also called the check engine light or engine management
light) is turned on this is to alert you to the fact that Powertrain
Control Module (computer) has detected a failure somewhere in the
systems it controls you may not feel any difference in the way the
engine runs, this can be the transmission or the engine or emission
system, there are fault codes set in the modules memory for these
faults. What needs to happen now is to have the powertrain control
module scanned with a special tool called an OBD2 electronic engine
control scanner or a OBD2 code reader. Once the code(s) are read then
you must perform the diagnostics for each code and make the
appropriate repairs based on the findings of the diagnosis that was
performed, this is called doing "Pinpoint" testing.

Many things can cause this problem, when you lock the doors the alarm is activated, why it goes off is the tough part, it could be a bad door switch or faulty alarm, testing will need to be done, i would bring it to a shop for this due to so many switches and motion sensor and alarm module.
I have a 1995 BMW 525 TDS SE AUTO.Where do Ifind
The start battery? Or just the battery in general? Typically the 12 volt battery in a car is used to run the starter and that's it.
In your car it is in the back...yes the back, it is nowhere under the front hood so quit looking. Open the trunk, on the right side---and underneath the access panel is the battery.
Abs light stays on
Whenever
this warning or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that
the systems control module has detected a fault, it then disables the
system as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook
up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the
system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

2001 530i battery drain/alternator question
first off never never never trust a tow truck driver they are idiots, it takes a BMW 15 mins to go into a sleep mode before a draw can be mesured, as for the dealership they should have caught that using the Midtronics batt/alt tester that is standard from BMW 2.5 years for a batt replacement is reasonable especially in a BMW based on the high demand on the electrical system, I just replaced an alt on an M54 enginge just today so they do go bad, have them give you a print out from the midtronics with your VIN on the printout showing your alt is bad and what the batt is.
