We recently dropped a new BMW open and start video to our YouTube channel to help drivers when the battery in their key fob dies. The video covers 2021 and newer BMW 4-Series, 5-Series, and 7-Series electric and gas powered sedans as well the larger X-Series SUVs
The video helps with new flush door handles and key fob styles, and while a mechanical key can be used, BMW also offers a key card or phone app as back up.
We’ve added the video to our BMW video, which now holds now 11 videos. You can see the page here. You can also see the video on YouTube here.
