My BMW has a no key symbol and my window went downHELP

If you are seeing a "no key" symbol on your BMW's dashboard and your window went down, it could indicate a problem with the key or the vehicle's anti-theft system. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check the key battery: A low battery in your key fob can cause communication issues with the vehicle, leading to the "no key" symbol. Replace the battery in your key fob and try starting the car again.
  2. Try a spare key: If you have a spare key, try using it to start the car. If the spare key works, then the issue is likely with the original key fob, and you may need to have it reprogrammed or replaced.
  3. Check for interference: Sometimes, other electronic devices or signals can interfere with the key's communication with the car. Move away from any potential sources of interference, such as cell phones or other electronic devices, and try starting the car again.
  4. Check the fuse: If your window is not responding, it may be related to a blown fuse. Check the vehicle's fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
  5. Contact a professional: If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact a professional mechanic or BMW dealership for further diagnosis and repair.
It's important to address this issue promptly as it can leave your car vulnerable to theft (obviously). Hope that helps!!!

2004 bmw 318 ti cranks, buT won't start!

I have two ideas on this. Have you disconnected the battery or had it drain flat recently? It may be the anti-theft immobilizer, and needs resetting. Having said that, the second video shows how to reset all the modules and it just starts right up! https://www.google.com/search?q=2004+bmw+318+reset+security+system Or the fuel pump isn't creating enough pressure. You can test with a gauge borrowed from Autozone..

2012 BMW 535i losing all my water but not overheating?

If your 2012 BMW 535i is losing all of its water but not overheating, there could be a few possible causes:
  1. Leak in the coolant system: The coolant system of your car may have a leak, which is allowing the water to escape. This could be caused by a faulty radiator, a leaking hose or a cracked engine block.
  2. Evaporative loss: In some cases, the water may be evaporating due to high temperatures. This is common when driving in hot weather, and it can be caused by a malfunctioning pressure cap or a faulty radiator cap.
  3. Leak in the water pump: The water pump may be leaking, causing the water to escape from the coolant system.
  4. Leak in the head gasket: A leak in the head gasket can allow coolant to leak into the engine oil, causing the water to disappear.

2012 bmw 535i driving on the hwy and all of sudden I loose power pulled over n it came right back on

You need to have it checked for error codes. You could get tailended if power drops unexpectedly. Without the codes, it could be anything from a bad fuel filter to a failed transmission.

2005 bmw x5 3.0i misfire in 1, 3, 5

USA spec car no not? no country of VIN told so answers can be big time wrong, ok? sure get a shop to fix it they have tools you don;'t have. 3.0L is inline 6? called L6 is this car with coil pack that does more than one spark wire? or have 6, COP spark coils, (all I can do is guess) or USA has 6 COPS we check compression first, x6. got cam timing chain NOISE? I guess changed word mean replaced, with new COP coil? well; engine is first , the spark then fuel injector do DTC P0301 was set, and is still set this error, be specific on DTC errors, even tell them. 301 means weak combustion on #1
  • bad cylinder compression
  • bad spark
  • or #1 injector is bad.
why 3 and 5 fails and all are odd cylinders./ is odd but I suspect VVT problems./ no mileage on the engine told. 300k 400k?

I need to know the harness wire color of o2 sensor bank 1sensor 1 bmw 2008

Hi, Please use the catalog from the advanced autoparts website or Mcmaster-Carr catalog in order to identify the product and then have access to the particular wire that you're looking for. You might use both resources just to ensure that the color isn't picked at random depending on the source of the part creation. Thank you.

I have a 2006 BMW X5 4.4i and I would like to know 1- can this system bypass the immobilizer or 2- reset the computer so I can get it started.

The answer is No to both questions. The security system and immobilizer is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do, start the car without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram computers (ECM and BCM) and the security modules and sensors. You have to fix the issue not find away around it. The immobilizer on that vehicle needs a code. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+BMW+X5+reset+security ..

No returning petrol on a bmw e30 323i spitronics titan management system i hav a inline pump wit pressure regulator

Hello. Either your B.M.W. doesn't have a return fuel line or, if it does, that line is blocked/restricted. The latter isn't likely because the engine might 'flood' with gas, making it hard to start/run. Keep me informed; if you want to.

Viper CE0890 Remote Starter randomly starts up every day between 2:30 and 3:00pm. How do I get it to stop in my 2003 BMW 330Xi please?

Question edited for clarity. Take it back to the installer at 2:00pm and he can use his pro grade scan tool computer to record what happens. It may be electronic interference from something nearby that starts up during that time. https://www.google.com/search?q=Viper+CE0890+Remote+Starter+randomly+starts+up ..

Where is the fuse to the crankshaft position sensor for the 3.0si

there is no such thing ever, CKP it is hall sensor or mag sensor yes the HALL uses 5vdc from the same named pin Of the PCM but the PCM has regulator for that. (not a fuse ever 5V) the PCM has 12V fuses sure. as do every computer in the car. BCM and all. yes all cars and all electronics, or electrics, all have fuse. of one form or another, even like door windows have CB circuit breakers. cranks but will not start , has 50 causes./ SORRY ! a tech knows that and does check ALL FUSEs not just one ever. what if a fuse blew and the CAN_bus network when dead.? yes we check them all , for sure year 2000 up. for SURE> no start (CRANKS FAST)_ MACRO ANSWER.
  1. BAD ENGINE, TOP CAUSE CAM BELT SLIP/SNAP
  2. NO SPARK, (CMP/CKP, SPARK PARTS BAD OR ABOVE1
  3. BAD FUELING , NONE, TOO LITTLE OR TOO MUCH.
#1 HAS THE MOST CAUSE,. LOOK INSIDE ANY ENGINE SEE ALL THOSE HEAD VALVE PARTS TO FAIL? LOTS. WE HAVE TESTS FOR EACH LINE ABOVE , NO EXECEPTIONS, USING TOOLS/METERS/SCOPSES/ AND SCAN TOOLS IF WISE AND ALL FUSE ARE GOOD WE SCAN THE PCM FIRST (OBD2 DLC PORT) AND FOR SURE CRANKED FOR 5 SECONDS TO SEE IT FAIL. WE HAVE NO X3 IN USA, SO CAN NOT WAX SMARTER AND I HATE GERMAN SCHEMATICS, (LOVE ALL OTHERS) THEY USE GERMAN ONLY CODES FOR PARTS. GEESH. NO ASE OR SAE NAMES, In their german world. we have X5 but online no schematics, gotta love BMW. (not me) if engine is good, tested (compression) we test spark next on all cylinders, if all are dead, sure CMP or cam belt. or CMP dead, (or) if spark is bad on JUST one cylinder a new COP coil.? boots bad? if spark is good.we try test fuel (spray can, to air cleaner port filter out) I spray 3 seconds, crank it and runs 3 seconds ,repeat 3 times; if engine sounds great smile and say fueling bad. check fuel pressure using gauge(shop) for spec pressure. check voltage 12vd to pump cranking. bingo do not trust key on pump tests, CRANK IT. (yes 2 persons)
