    Key issue

    Malcolm Berger replied to Malcolm Berger's topic in BMW 5 Series Forum
    Thanks for your reply Dave regarding key issue. Always used a local independent specialist BMW garage for about 20 years for a 7 series, then 2, 3 series and now the 5. Always had fair charges and reliable work. Thanks for advice, will try the I-drive settings and if unable to fix I'm sure my garage will quickly sort it.

    Key issue

    Malcolm Berger posted a topic in BMW 5 Series Forum
    Have a 2016 520d bought January at 33k. Last month local BMW garage replaced both key batteries. (Spare never worked). 2 weeks ago ignition with main key would not start and sign came up to put key next to steering column. Car then started ok. This happened intermittently a few times so am now using spare key without a problem but found all radio pre-sets cancelled, (now re-set ok,) the heater temp settings had gone down to 16C and it now needs 2 clicks on key to open back doors. Is this a battery issue or some other problem. Malc. None-techie!
