Yes, a 97 but I can't really say if they're the correct ones either will attach a pic of the internals.View attachment 26115View attachment 26116
Thanks for the pics. Think I will see if I can contact the previous owners and see what I can find out about my missing original fobs or if any of them had trouble with the system when in their ownership.

Hi jack
When you get a minute would you be good enough to send me a pic of the inside of your fob so that I can see if it is likemine.

Thanks

Geoff
I'm away from home until Friday night so will do it when I get home

Hi Jim
All the pics are ones with 2 batteries, you said that you had 2 with one battery which is what I would like a pic of to see if the inside is like mine.

Thanks


Geoff

The second silver disk in the pictures Geoff isn't a battery its a componant i think (but could be corrected), its cetainly not removable. The fobs only have one battery as far as i can recall

@Geoff Crispin I've just taken the second fob apart and agree with @Antm72. Unless there is a small round battery which goes into the metal ring next to the disc he's mentioned. Hope you have some luck soon! JIM

Hi
If that is what yours look like it is not the same as the one that I purchased which might be the problem

Sorry Jim going through posts found your pic mine is not like that must be the wrong one. Asked the nearest BMW dealer about but they will say nothing, only bring it in which I dont want to do.

@Geoff Crispin, Geoff, I think you may be getting confused about the components in the fob. There is only one battery, at the top. I've used Andy's photo to name some of the other stuff in there. HTH.

Thanks for that, I am of the opinion that the one I purchased is wrong as not the same internals. I am in the process of getting the right type and will try to re programe it as per instructions given.

No Geoff, I'll be home on Friday. I fitted a new battery in mine only last week so I know it's the same as the one in the photo
