Thanks, Qsilver7; I got in touch with Scott at bmwgm5.com and will be sending a key to him ASAP. I was planning on tearing into one of my keys to replace the battery and unfortunately already bought a battery; anybody want to buy it?

I then fixed my remote key system and it was NOT the key or battery, it was the module that receives the signal (located in the rear hatch, not far from the 3rd brake light).

And thank you Greg. Already bought
repair parts from another seller on eBay who ships from Michigan; should have them in hand by next Tuesday. Regarding your remote control fix, did you end up replacing that module or is there a fix for it? What do you do to test it & narrow the problem down to that? Makes me wonder if that's my problem too; the rear wiper has been non-op since we bought the car.
