Key not working properly.....not charging
I have two keys for my 335, but the main one I use does not seem to be holding a charge even though I have it in the ignition most of the time I drive.
Is there anything the dealer can do to charge it up or is it on it's way out? TIA

 If it's a CA key fob, you need to change one battery. There should be a battery door on the back of your key fob. I believe the battery you need to buy is a 2032 lithium button coin cell battery and it can be purchased over the counter. |

Yes, I have CA and I thought it charged when it was in the ignition? Guess not....
I now see the battery door and the battery I need. Thanks guys you nailed it.

Some CAs don't read all that stuff BMW sends them or pay attention in the BMW classes. The other thing the CA told me was that I was shifting gears all wrong. I have >190k on the original clutch of my other car. Dumbasses.

Apparently, some BMW dealers were a bit slow to get the word that the CA batteries don't recharge. But it is clearly pointed out in the owner's manual. Tom |
