Found the photo album. It shows exactly where to poke though the button edges to measure the battery and internals etc.

Dear all, has ANYONE had this issue? The day my keyfob would not play I was parked next to Aluminum structure that houses the buildings AC backup power diesel generator (generator not in use at time).

Since leaving the place the key function was fine

However I parked there next to it again and low and behold same thing, keyfob not working, is it a coincidence or is the aluminum enclosure somehow affecting the rf of the fob....nuts totally nuts

ok cheers this is a first for me....weird thing is at home i can unlock it from inside the house as it is parked on the street and our property is fenced off with aluminum panels as wide as your hand roughly... anyway x5 is starting to display the e46 problems with the plastic rubber trim on windscreen and in engine bay specifically near the grill air intake that hugs the trunk when closed, it has just crumbled away...sort of saved it with alu foil tape but that aint gonna create a good seal...
