Waiting to see if this will work on my BMW 5Series Sport Sedan as well.

Really hoping this unlocks my BMW 5Series Sport Sedan's mystery code.

My BMW 5Series Sport Sedan just blinks. I think this might fix it.

Does anyone know if this works on push-start BMW 5Series Sport Sedans?

This looks helpful for those of us with a locked-out BMW 5Series Sport Sedan.

Thanks! This could save me a trip to the dealership for my BMW 5Series Sport Sedan.
