If the central locking system of the BMW 3 Series E46 suddenly stops working and the remote battery is sufficiently charged, check the status of the related fuses, whose location is shown in this video. As shown, there are two fuses located in the box right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, labeled F7 and F49. Their amperage is 5A for both.

If they are blown, make sure to replace them with spares of the same specifications to avoid causing any damage.
