When I turn the key it will make a cranking sound but won't fire up. I then turn the key again and it's fine.
I took it to a BMW dealer who said there was nothing on the diagnostics but the mechanic said he thinks it maybe a crank sensor that needs replacing. I paid £250 to get it replaced and it's ...

Boot pops open on its own
Hi, my boot pops open on its own. This can be whilst I'm driving or parked up. The other night I was in bed and my alarm started going off and the boot had popped open. I closed it and it did it 3 more times until the morning.
I've taken out the tailgate fuse and this has stopped it from popping ...

Re: Can't get in car
BMW came out, ended up smashing window and reprogramming the new key using ignition. Then had to change lock on door.
Ended up with a bill of £500.

Re: Can't get in car
I've never heard of BMW emergency services, do you have a contact for them?
How much did that cost you?

Re: Can't get in car
No luck yet I'm afraid.
My new key has arrived from BMW but it won't work in the lock or by the fob.
I've got a BMW mechanic coming out tomorrow to drill the lock out and use a screwdriver to open the door, and once in programme my new key to work.
I pray to god this works as I've ran out of ideas ...

Can't get in car
Hi all,
I've got a 2002 X5.
Was on the school run the other day and when I went to open the car with the fob it wouldn't unlock. I tried the key in the drivers side lock and the barrel just spins 90 degrees left and right without opening.
I've rang my local dealer and they've ordered me a new key ...
