Hey guys, I just bought my 2007 328xi a couple days ago and my key fob doesn't lock/unlock or open the trunk. I thought it would be a battery issue so I changed it and still not working. The key does start the car though and I can unlock/lock the car using the internal key. Is there anyway I can fix this, I'm I afraid the dealer my find it defective and have to get a new one + programming and all that.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Try the "valet" switch in the glove compartment.
Page 34 of the online '07 3 series manual:

Locking or unlocking separately

The switch is located in the glove compartment.

1

Locking the luggage compartment lid

2

Unlocking the luggage compartment lid

Locking separately

Push the switch in the direction of arrow

1.
The luggage compartment lid is locked and
cannot be unlocked using the central locking

system.

your door lock actuators are bad...had that happen on mine. Had to take to the dealership and they were able to fix it.

valet switch is on unlock.

I'll check on the door actuators.

Any other suggestions?
