The battery is new The alarm and locks will close when the button on the remote is pushed The car will start when the key is inserted in the dash The car will not unlock when I approach and pull the handle. The car will not start when the remote is in the passenger compartment but not in the dash, An error message appeared on the dash that said key not recognized when I try to start without the key inserted in the dash.

hi, to program the keys to the vehicle is quite simple
1) open the vehicle, sit inside and close the door
2) insert the key in the ignition and turn to position 1 so that just the air bag light illuminates
3) press and hold the unlock button on the key and remove the key from the ignition (do not release the unlock button)
4) while still holding the unlock button with the key removed press the lock button 3 times
5) release the unlock button on the remote and the door locks should lock and unlock if the proceedure has been carried out correctly
6) to program any other key(s) press and hold the unlock button on remote and again press the lock button 3 times but do not insert it into the ignition or turn the ignition on as done previous.
you may want to print these instructions and read them a few times before proceeding, if you muck up the process while programing keys, no harm will be done, you just have to start the process over. hope this is of some help, regards mark.

try locking and unlocking the car with the key 3 times slowly ,other than that i have no idea ?? another trick is to disconnect battery and join the cables together for a few minutes to discharge any capacitors that may be holding a charge in the computer..Only other thing i can think of is the main dealers who have the right connectors and software to re set it all .sorry i havent been of any help

At first,it seems your remote has lost its code.Try using your other keys.
Do you have all doors+hood properly closed?Does your key actually turn in door lock!

BMW has a totally different locking device than most vehicles. If it deemed to be hard to minipulate replace that lock cylinder
