I got myself a 135i today and it came with the remote in the picture. The dealer thought it was a switchable map and it does fell quicker than I thought it would.There is a tiny led beside the steering wheel that flashes red and goes amber when the remote buttons are pressed. Any ideas?
Ive found some images on google of a similar fob which says its an immobiliser for keyless entry so that looks a bit more likely than the switchable map nonsense. Still feels quick to me but I have had diesels for a long time.
