Are you trying to use your spare key to start? BMW keys have transponders in the keys which allows it to start. Its basiclly just another security system to be sure no body is poping your ignition or anything like that. I wish I knew how to tell you how to tell if your transponder in your key is working, or the transponder unit in your car is working, but I can't. Your best bet is to call the dealership to check on that.

My 2002 AWD Safari has a thumping sound upon initial acceleration which I think is the AWD system transferring traction from one wheel to another when not required. It feels similar like driving over cracks in the pavement. It does this on dry pavement primarily after the vehicle has warmed up....not so much when the vehicle is cold. I have serviced the system, new fluids, etc. but the problem still exists.
