Key surgery due up

[getty150]

Looks like my 04 X3 key will have to go to surgery, don't think it's ever been opened. I have a battery on the shelf. I've got the solder gun and a blade to open it up. Key fob's opening power distance is less than two feet. I now have to press any button two times or more to get a response. The give away is that the trunk opens more easily on first command. Then once I get the new battery in I'll have to program the key again along with the sister key...if not,,,,only one key will function.
The joys of BMW ownership, of course I could go to the dealer and have $175 to $300 lifted off me. But instead I'll save that amount. Oh! the joys!

False alarm!
Key has been functioning fine ever since the above post. Can't explain it! But, I'll take it!

Your key heard about having open heart surgery and got frightened.
