Sounds more like the immobiliser transponder in the key has gone.  The key has a chip inside it that connects to the ignition barrel to turn off the immobiliser. I’m guessing that has failed if the other keys are working fine. 

thank you , i will get a new key cut and programed ,maybe a firm might do it a bit less than bmw , cheers

Sounds like a transponder fault rather than a battery issue. 
 

did the car open on the first key with the remote central locking or did you have to physically turn the key in the lock?

screen on car is blank no lights at all

aa out looked all about plugged in computer ,eventually said have you another key tried that and it started. the first key opened doors but engine not starting, thought it recharged itself while plugged in , new key a national debt, dont want to open replace battery myself as bits need resolder, any companies do this or can i recharge in some form , all suggestions please ,cheers

thank you all, great advice, right foot does misbehave mind of its own,

Good morning all .keep getting info, dont know who is right .can i do economy remap some say should not as gearbox engine will bw week to much strain , and secondly egr removal all blanks ,some say it will show eml light. i wish to do egr first, full service done and swirl flaps gone,pick sup better but mileage wise 44 on run in town 28 mpg , not worried but wondering if this is correct on 145000 mile bmw 525d 2004 full service history, any thoughts on this ,

thinking of selling, going to German night at the ace cafe in February , the baur i have, any thoughts of places to list her in , 

hello,just removed flaps on 525d 2004 , egr was clean, only light dusting in manifold, seems to pull and pick up quicker, full take off egr and blank cooler etc,after holiday, reurning small 22mm blanks as it was the bigger ones, was going to do economy remap, but you tube guy says not to remap as gearbox will go, any thoughts ?

no fuel cleaners or additives, best fuel, full service history, service is due soon but i will do this now as car is old 145ooo miles

Hi guys I'm in London and looking for suggestions where to get the car mapped looked at e maps seen some good reveiws. Not heard anything back from my enquiry as yet. Is there anywhere else not a million miles away that are reputable and reasonable also is there a noticeable difference with the car mapped. I love it would just like a little bit more 😁
