My new OE key I got from BMW just stopped working one day last year. It worked for about 18 months. The central locking button inside works as expected, as does the door lock.

Here you got the exact location.

Might be also the battery in your case.
Also figured out something, i don't think it created the issue but definitely something to consider for whom want to replace their batteries.
So since i started searching about replacing the batteries of the remote key after buying the car, i found out that the replacement batteries are LIR2025 3.6v.
Except it's not...
Apparently the closest to OEM fit are VL2020 3v.
Should have went further than trusting ebay on search results for "E53 key battery"...
Ordered a couple of those, will keep updated when received and replaced.
