Providing central locking works when you insert key in lock,try programming keys
Enter car make sure all doors/windows are shut
Switch ignition on and off,remove key
PRESS AND HOLD UNLOCK BUTTON ON KEY
Press lock button on key 3 times whithin 10 seconds and release unlock
Central locking will lock/unlock rapidly to confirm reset
If your key is the type with bmw logo in the middle battery replacement is not possible,as it charges as you drive

garages, but not all of them will put on the cheapest pads that they can find and charge a premium price. I did this once! because the boss told me too. the car came back for rattling and squealing. I replaced the pads with the premium ones and they never returned with this problem. from then on I only used premium pads.

you have to change the whole headlight as a unit not just the lens.
Possible big dollars for the light but it is a BMW and their parts are expensive

Check the fuel filter,or just change it,it is more likely it is stopped up.

this link will take you to the ebay store, I bought the manual from this guy, if there is no book, he has the pdf file for it 100%

drive to a BMW shop and have the service guy look at it real quick. He can tell within seconds.

there should be a routing pic on the car in the engine compartment somewhere.

If the charcoal canister replacement did not do it then surely there is a leak in a line connecting to the canister. I would check each connection leading to and from the canister checking both ends of those lines and checking the lines themselves for cracks or worn spots. Put some soapy water on the lines to see if bubbles come up or dry spots show up. Any dishwater soap will do. Check with the motor running and check right after shutting down the motor.

Horns? Phantom Code? BS. You may need to have another shop that specializes in BMW to check it out.

BAD SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES DIRTY FUEL INJECTORS AND STOPPED UP FUEL FILTER OR WEAK FUEL PUMP WILL CAUSE ENGINE TO SURGE.

Code PO340 "Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction". Now that does not mean that if you simply replace the sensor your problem will be solved. It can be simply loose, cut, or corroded wiring. It can also be something entirely different. This is where diagnostic skills come in.

Check to be certain that all of the hose clamps are tight and that there are no air or vacuum leaks especially between the throttle body and the MAF (mass air flow meter/sensor)

I hope that this has been of any help to you and will solve your problem.
