The 2010-5 series BMW comes with a key fob that can be used to open and close the doors remotely. To open the doors using the key fob, press the unlock button on the fob. The doors will unlock, and the hazard lights will flash to indicate that the doors are unlocked. To close the doors using the key fob, press the lock button on the fob. The doors will lock and the hazard lights will flash once to indicate that the doors are locked.
If the battery in the key fob is dead, you can still open and close the doors using the key. Simply insert the key into the door lock and turn it to unlock the door. To lock the door, close it and use the key to turn the lock on the door.
Keys/remote control
1 Remote control with integrated key
2 Spare key
3 Adapter for spare key, in glove compartment
Remote control with integrated key
Each remote control contains a battery which is charged in the ignition lock while driving. Drive a longer distance with each remote control at least twice a year to keep the battery charged. For Comfort Access*, the remote control contains a replaceable battery.
Depending on which remote control is detected by the vehicle during unlocking, different settings are activated and executed in the vehicle, refer to Personal Profile.
Information on the required for maintenance is also stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in remote control.
Integrated key
Press button 1 to unlock the key.
The integrated key fits the following locks:
- Glove compartment
- Sports Wagon: floor panel flap in cargo bay
- Driver’s door
- Luggage compartment lid
New remote controls
To obtain additional or replace lost keys, new remote controls with an integrated key are available at your BMW center.
Spare key
Store the spare key in a safe place such as your wallet. This key is not intended for regular use. The spare key and integrated key fit the same locks.
Adapter for spare key
The adapter is required so that the vehicle can be started with the spare key or radio readiness can be switched on.
Remove the adapter from the holder in the glove compartment and slide the spare key into the adapter before use.
Personal Profile
The concept
You can set a number of functions of your BMW individually according to your preferences. Personal Profile ensures that most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use without you having to do anything. When the vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding remote control is detected and the settings stored for it are called up and carried out.
This means that you will always find your BMW set to your own personal settings even if another person with his/her own remote control and settings has used the vehicle since the last time you drove it. The individual settings are stored for a maximum of four remote controls, for two with Comfort Access*.

- To interruptions in battery voltage
Unauthorized operations are briefly signaled by the alarm system:
- with an acoustic alarm
- by switching on the hazard warning flashers
- by flashing the high beams
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
The luggage compartment lid/tailgate can also be opened with the system armed with the button on the remote control. When the luggage compartment lid/tailgate is closed, it is locked and monitored again.
Switching off alarm
- Unlock the vehicle using the remote control
- Insert the remote control all the way into the ignition lock.
Indicator lamp displays
- The indicator lamp under the interior rearview mirror flashes continuously: the system is armed.
- The indicator lamp flashes after locking: doors, hood, luggage compartment lid/tailgate or rear window are not properly closed. Even if you do not close the alerted area, the system begins to monitor the remaining areas, and the indicator lamp flashes continuously after approx. 10 seconds. However, the interior motion sensor is not activated.

Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to function properly, the windows and glass sunroof* must be completely closed.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor may be switched off at the same time. This prevents unintentional alarms, e.g., in the following situations:
- In two-level garages
- When transporting on car-carrying trains, by sea or on a trailer
- When animals are to remain in the vehicle
Switching off tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor
Press the black button on the remote control again as soon as the vehicle is locked. The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor and the interior motion sensor are switched off until the next time the vehicle is unlocked and subsequently locked again.
Comfort Access*
Comfort Access allows you to access your vehicle without having to hold the remote control in your hand. It is sufficient to carry the remote control with you, e.g., in your jacket pocket. The vehicle automatically detects the associated remote control in the immediate vicinity or in the interior. Comfort Access supports the following functions:
- Unlocking/locking vehicle
- Comfort closing
- Opening luggage compartment lid/tailgate separately

If the closing force exceeds a specific value as a window closes, the closing action is interrupted and the window reopens slightly.
⚠ Despite the pinch protection system, inspect the window’s travel path prior to closing it, as the safety system might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as thin objects, and the window would continue closing.
Do not install any accessories in the range of movement of the windows, otherwise the pinch protection system will be impaired.
Closing without pinch protection system
In case of danger from outside or if, for example, ice on the window prevents normal closing, proceed as follows:
- Pull the switch beyond the resistance point and hold. The pinch protection system is limited and the window opens slightly if the closing force exceeds a certain value.
- Pull the switch beyond the resistance point and hold again within approx. 4 seconds.
The window closes without the pinch protection system.
Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent the rearwindows from being opened or closed via the switches in the rear passenger area, by children, for example. The LED lights up when this safety feature is activated.

⚠ Despite the pinch protection system, inspect the sunroof’s travel path prior to closing it, as the safety system might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof would continue closing.
Closing without pinch protection system
In case of danger from outside, slide the switch forward beyond the resistance point and hold. The roof closes without the pinch protection system.
Following interruptions in electrical power supply
After a power loss, the sunroof may only respond to the raise command. Then have the system initialized. BMW recommends having this work done by your BMW center.
