That sounds like it could be a faulty or sticking button on the key fob, just a thought, maybe worth taking the battery out of the potentially faulty fob and trying the other fob?

Possibly from one of the price comparison websites if you have ever entered your details for an insurance quote.
I would think its very unlikely BMWUK would provide that info, possibly a dealer depending on who actually manages their data.

Thanks for the info and guidance. Battery changed today and all went well, due to the inclement weather I took it to my local independent technician, a very knowledgeable young chap, who specialises in VW Audi group vehicles, but has a lot of experience with other makes from a few years with the AA ...

The power of Google or duck duck go in this case, hopefully basically correct🤔🤞 It won’t, but follow the right procedure for disconnecting the batteries: Open the door and trunk Move the key out of the range, so it won’t wake up the vehicle Wait till all electronics sleep ( I would say 15-20 min, you ...

Thanks, interesting haven’t come across anything anywhere else re it sleeping or whatever it’s called, more googling called for

I’ll have a look and see if anything stays on when I next park it up after a run, if not I’ll leave it for 15 mins or do before starting the change, I’m sure the interior lights go off after after a while

Thanks for the info, silly question I suspect, but how do you know the car has gone to sleep as the boot will be open ?

Afternoon All The battery on my x5 f15 40d, is now six years old and I’ve had a couple of start engine battery discharge level high warnings, normally when it’s been parked for a week or two without use apart from opening and closing doors etc. I have put the battery on charge visually the under bon ...

My f15 x5 40d has averaged 33.19 mpg over 42.5k miles since we bought it with around eighteen miles on it, (according to Fuelio), that included a good number of 2 ton caravan towing duties initially, although that has dropped in the last year, as we now store the caravan at one CV of our favourite ...

My x5 was in for service last week and was lent an i4 for the day, my first experience of an all electric car, had a tootle around the Grassington, Hebden Bridge and Bolton Abbey area, very impressed with comfort and drivability, not so convinced about the wide screen info system to do just about ...

Good news and fingers crossed is all ok, then a nice letter of apology to the supplying dealer, if it turns out to be from an attempted scam

At least BMW cover the engine under their excellent extended warranty cover and it’s not been classed as a known manufacturing fault by the warranty companies. Unlike the previous Land Rover 3.0 diesel engines used extensively in the Discovery and Range Rover products, where even Land Rover own e ...

Very impressive, and well done, you deserve a few beers after that, it’s not something I think I would tackle without an expert very close buy, think I’ll keep the warranty going on my F15

I had the Trackstar cat 5 with immobilisation fitted to my X5 in late 2018, it runs on 4G. At the time the sales guy provided me with the details so I could arrange to get it installed by the engineer who fits them for BMW, so had same device fitted, at a lower price as not branded or sold by BMW ...
