Just to check - when getting a replacement key from BMW, they cut the blade to code so it will work in the locks & ignition barrel. They also have to introduce it/ reprogramme to the remote locking, and the process needs to include other keys as well - has that been done?

Yes, the car was taken to the dealers to get the new key codded/synced but still no joy.

Could be a fuse related to the locking module or diversity antenna then, if the fob sync procedure isn't working.
