PA soft/BMW Scanner was able to monitor when the car was detecting a key fob lock/unlock command and from which fob it was coming from. But didn't help diagnose that it was a bad receiver and not a bad key. I got a junkyard one and it was easy to fix from there. If both your fobs do not remotely lock or unlock then it's worth a look.

Thing is, the new fob DID work from the first day I had it, for well over a year. And then it did not. We'd come back from Mexico one night and I used the remote to unlock the beast, and that was the last time it worked.
Console button works. Key in the driver's door works. Alarm beeps once on lock, twice on unlock. Hatch rubbery button is intermittent, but the console button works.
Just feels like a dead fob battery that won't charge.
