Comfort Access not working
I bought this 50i back in October and haven't had any issues with it till now...I went to open the drivers side door with the key fob in my pocket as I do everyday and nothing happened...So I used the key fob to unlock the doors and attempted to start the truck without using the key fob and nothing happened...I slid the key fob in and the truck started no problem so I figured maybe the key fob battery was dead and replaced it...I tried opening and starting the truck without using the key fob and got the same result again nothing happened??? I know the battery works because I put it in my other key fob I use for my other BMW with CA...Has this happened to anyone else or is the truck going to need to be recoded by BMW?

Not yet because I want to make sure I can drop it off (instead of my care free wife lol) and let them know about the N63 Service Bulletin and other recalls I've been reading about on here

I had a similar problem on my 50i. One of my doors wouldn't unlock when the fob was in my pocket. The comfort access sensor on that door had gone back. Also, I was receiving the battery warning so they replaced the battery. This was about 6-7 months ago.

I haven't received any increased battery discharge messages on my screen which puzzles me because doing a search on this I read that 9 out of 10 times its due to a bad or low battery or that the truck may need to be reflashed by BMW...any of these problems can affect your CA...I replaced my key fob battery and my CA was still not working..... I just talked to my sa and apparently my 50i is affected by the N63 Service Bulletin BMW recently released, so I have an appointment on Feb. 9 to drop it off and was told that I would get whatever car(loaner) was available on their lot that day...I told them to put in their notes that I want something BIG enough for a baby seat....hopefully they'll give me a 5 series or X3 with good all season or winter tires since February in NY can be brutal with snow...good thing I just spent over $2k on a winter setup that will be sitting in a dealership for God knows how long!
