Why does the remote control of the BMW 3 Series no longer work?
Years 1998-2006

Answer

In the event that the remote control of our BMW 3 Series E46 suddenly stops working, it is very likely that it is simply the discharge of its battery. It can be easily replaced and the necessary expense is negligible. Alternatively, it could be a fault with the central locking control module or the remote control itself.
