Take it to a dealer and they can look up the code. But whatever you do, do NOT sit there mashing buttons! Once you've entered an invalid code 3 or 4 times, it will lock out for 24 hours and even the correct code won't work. Most dealers should not charge for this service.

It sounds like an anti-theft device. Contact a BMW dealer for the code.

You have to reset the codes. The instructions should be in the owners manual or contact a BMW dealer to get them!

Mine does the same thing when the battery is disconnected. You need to enter a security code.

May just need to be reset... there should be a pinhole where you can press a button to do such.
