I have a 2007 335i with the comfort access fobs, and my spare fob stopped working several months ago. Fearing that it may be a problem requiring a typical BMW fix (read: RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE). I left it as a "to do" in the back of my mind. Tonight I needed to use the spare, so I searched and found this post. Imagine my stunned delight when I read that it was a bog standard, CR2032 button-cell battery, the most common button cell there is! I followed Glim's instructions, and found (also to my delight) that the battery cover was easily removed (I used the tip of the metal key that is in the fob). I am an IT consultant, so I had a bunch of 2032s lying around. After replacing it, my remote works perfectly! THANK YOU GLIM! First 0$ dollar repair on my BMW to date!
