BTW, the battery is rechargeable and is charged by the ring antenna when the key is in the ignition. Would be usefull to swap your key and spare key sometimes to maintain battery level.

I can't believe this works in Australia region too, thank you so much. Mine is a V8 4.4i 2002 model.

After reading this thread, my husband took the key apart. He ordered the battery and voila!!!!! Our key now works. Thanks :)

Wow! Some dealers charge more huh. I bought an extra key at Bill Jacobs BMW in Naperville, IL last year.. only cost me $169 plus tax for my 4.4i X5. I did the programming using the DIY in this forum.
