Hello all, I am new to BMW, bought a used 2001 E46 two weeks ago, its a 325xi.
Had just serviced and replaced d MAF, it runs fine, but I think it could be better.

I currently have issue with d master key not starting d car, only d spare key. The remote sensors work on d master key. It's there anything I need do to make d master key start d car?

The color code on d master key is blue.

Thanks

The keys have a chip in them which sends a unique code to the ignition. If that code using correct the ignition won't start. It's called the EWS, but is known as the Drive Away Protection System. I would take the key to the dealer and see if they can ensure the chip is functioning.
