Look for the section change the battery and reprogram the key if you're sure the battery is good okay and I think if you reprogram it all will be good
SOURCE: 2004 BMW 525i Active Steering problem
The Active Steering system uses a Papst
brushless dc motor to rotate the cage (ring gear) containing the planet
gears a planetary gearbox at the bottom of the steering column. The
motor effectively changes the steering ratio by increasing or
decreasing the amount of gearbox output rotation relative to changes in
the steering-wheel angle input. The resulting ratio depends on the
speed of the car. For instance, a low 10:1 ratio gives high
maneuverability for parking in tight spaces, with less than two turns
of the steering wheel, lock to lock. To track straight at highway
speeds, where even a small steering input can produce a quick sideways
acceleration, the electric drive boosts the ratio to 20:1. Cars without
Active Steering typically have ratios halfway between (specifically
14.1:1 for the BMW).
....
Now, if your active steering does not work , the car reverses back to power steering and the ratio is 15.1:1 so the car can be driven but the "active steering " is not working and still needs to be fixed.
It the unit needs to be replaced and your car is not under warranty, the repair cost may reach 5000 dollars.
SOURCE: i need to change my oil and filter on a BMW
The oil filter is located underneath the vehicle next to the drain plugand accessed through a removable trim cover. If I remember correctly the drain plug is a 7mm allen. The oil filter has a drain plug in it to predrain before removing the filter cap. I do not recommend removing the plug because it strips out sometimes. Instead you need to use a socket and loosen the cap slowly. Your engine will take 8qts bmw syn 5w30 oil. I like the factory oil because it is proven extended life oil. When reinstalling the drain plug make sure to replace the crush washer. Also, make sure to replace the oring on the oil filter cap and lube before reinstalling.
SOURCE: BMW Keyless Entry not working
hi, to program the keys to the vehicle is quite simple
1) open the vehicle, sit inside and close the door
2) insert the key in the ignition and turn to position 1 so that just the air bag light illuminates
3) press and hold the unlock button on the key and remove the key from the ignition (do not release the unlock button)
4) while still holding the unlock button with the key removed press the lock button 3 times
5) release the unlock button on the remote and the door locks should lock and unlock if the proceedure has been carried out correctly
6) to program any other key(s) press and hold the unlock button on remote and again press the lock button 3 times but do not insert it into the ignition or turn the ignition on as done previous.
you may want to print these instructions and read them a few times before proceeding, if you muck up the process while programing keys, no harm will be done, you just have to start the process over. hope this is of some help, regards mark.

The brake pads have sensors in them, when the pads get worn down to the sensor the light comes on letting you know its time to replace. this happens well before the pads are completely gone to reduce wear on the rotors. You should have the brakes replaced and the sensor also.

Hello , check the airbag contact sensor behing the grill assembley . They are located to the left and right of the grill almost to the headlight assemblies. Check the wires to them for corrosion and damage. Check the fuse as well. There should be an air bag testing wire or fuse in the fuse panel. DO NOT UNPLUG THE AIR BAG SENSORS OR HIT THEM !!
