key

My original BMW Z3 Convertible 2002 key randomly disconnects/becomes uncalibrated from the car when I go out in public. When I calibrate the key in my garage (Position 1 and back 5 times, hold in the unlock button and press the lock button 3 times) the car connects to the key. However, whenever...

Hi all, hope this is the right place to post this. Currently looking at a 1997 1.9 that has an issue with the key / ignition barrel. apparently you need to wiggle the key in the ignition to start it, seller had it checked by a key bloke who said the barrel is fine and it’s the key that needs...
