Starting/Driving the car
This is my first BMW. I have been driving/starting the car without putting the key in the holder under the push start/stop button. Is this ok to do or should i keep it in there????

I think you have Comfort Access. Do take full advantage of this feature. It's designed to work this way. In case you don't know, you don't need to press any of the buttons on your key to lock/unlock the car. Just tap on the door handle and it will lock/unlock. (Touch the part just above the keyhole on the door handle).

You must have comfort access for $500. Enjoy it.

No metal contacts necessary. The charging is via induction.
Edit: what I meant is that the lack of metal contacts proves nothing, since the non-comfort access key doesn't have metal contacts either -- it recharges by magnetic induction. Last edited by psnick; 01-18-2006 at 03:19 PM.. |

The comfort access key (which I have) contains a replaceable battery. There was a lengthy debate a while ago over in the bimmerfest forum about whether the comfort access key can nevertheless be recharged by being inserted into the slot. I think the answer is no. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...=115935&page=3 |

I am almost positive that CA fobs do not have rechargeable batteries.
