Replacement keys for BMW roof bars?

Anyone know where I could get replacement keys for BMW roof bars? There is a 3 digit code on the lock.

Common error message which I think is to do with the steering angle sensors needing to recalibrate....

Re: 4x4 and DSC system failure error message after changing the battery

[quote="X5Sport"]
Roll the car forward gently and turn steering from lock to lock.  It's not a fault as the steering/DSC system needs to reset itself following a battery change.

So start the car and drive it forward?

4x4 and DSC system failure error message after changing the battery

Just fitted a new battery - not coded and registered yet, but have now got the error 4x4 and DSC system failure.  I think this can be triggered by a low battery, but that seems odd as it's brand new.  Anyone seen this?  How do I clear it??

Re: Replacing the battery

[quote="Horizon"] [quote="stevo6"] How do I know if mine is an AGM battery or not? There's no indication on the battery... Part no is S61 21 7 551 331 and googling suggests it is, but not definitive. Car is an '08 3.0 SD (no start stop). Cheers [/quote] http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-2009-X5-Bateria-De ...

Re: Replacing the battery

[quote="Graeme"] I had the battery replaced a year ago. Cost from BMW main dealer of BMW battery was £148 fitted and coded with 2 year warranty which was £5 more than my independent mechanic could have got a Bosch equivalent for - then he'd have to fit and code it. It's worth getting a quote.. ...

Replacing the battery

Just wondering if there are any members on here that would be able to code/register a new battery for me?  I am near Reading.  I'm happy to agree a cost - even going to the local indy seems very expensive to me...
