Yes, looks like the key battery is very low in voltage and is not sending the signal to the car module in charge to detect the key inside the slot. Open the key fob and check the battery voltage.
If the car is not showing any codes, a new Fob battery and a good cleanup would be the first and the least expensive thing to do. It may be also worth it to check the car battery voltage at rest and when running. Often low voltage can make for funny behavior.
Thanks for the input, I actually just bought a new battery for the car , because I did hear that low voltage makes the electrical system wonky, kind of why Iv gone this long without messing with the key , but it’s still currently doing this, so I suppose I shall get a new battery for the fob ,
@@cliffordsawyer2994 Good for you. You are working on the problem one step at a time. I would fully charge the new car battery and code the replacement. Without coding the replacement car battery, the car will assume that you are using the old battery and would not charge it optimally.
My buddy had the tip of his key missing as you do as well I’m not sure if it’s related but definitely doesn’t help and you should add yourself to an e90 group on Facebook and see if anyone can help your issue or possible even make you new key for much cheaper than bmw or what a shop would do good luck
