Chappy,
Any luck with this? I have the same problem. I had replaced a dead battery. Now the central door lock button doesn't work. I could lock and unlock all doors when the key is inserted into the door. However, my unlock and lock button on the key fob doesn't work. Unlocking the rear hatch does work using the key fob and the hatch button in the lower dash. I had tried reprogramming the key but now luck. Next step is to try resetting the computer by disconnection the battery and wait for 30 minutes or so.

Let me know.
Paul

chappy,

I am curious what happened to your turbo .

1) What year is your E53 X5 diesel ?
2) How many kms ?
3) How much did it cost you to replace the turbo ?

I had checked all of the fuses and none are blown.
Next step is to try to reset the car by disconnecting the new battery.

Thanks for the response.

central door lock

Hi Paul
Solved the door lock problem, due to the car had been in a garage with battery disconnected the system reverted it self back to when the car was new i.e when the cars are delivered new to the garages the door locking system is set for manual only.I took it to the BMW garage and they switched the system back via a lap top in seconds and it was free,amazing. Good Luck

Hi
my car is 4 years old and has done 105000 miles. BMW quoted the repair at approx £2500.00,this includes replacement of cat aswhen the turbo blows the engine oil is sucked out and blown though the exhaust. I have been told that this happens often on X5s after 80000 miles. Had it repaired by a independant garage for £1200.00.The cat was cleaned out and left to drain and did not need replacing,where as BMW would just replace it.The tell tail signs if the seals on the turbo are going can be black smoke from exhaust when accelerating hard

Chappy,
You're one lucky guy to have the dealer fixed that for free. Mine cost 225.00 U.S.. When my battery went out, somehow the fault code tripped the security system to Transport Mode. This means that you have to use the keep manually. They reset it back to Sales Mode and the key fob can now open and lock all of my doors. I had tried to tell them that was the problem but the technician ended up working on it for 1.5 hours trying to figure it out. 225.00 just to reset a fault code. Ouch!!!
