Unhappy 96' 318ti alarm

The lights on my car no longer flash when i hit lock or unlock on the keyless alarm remote. When I hold the two buttons down simultaneously and trigger the alarm itself, the lights flash and the alarm audio is heard, but why do these lights no work for locking and unlocking the car?

Because your car is full of electric grembins or you might be able to program that in the BCM?

The BCM (body control module) can only be accessed with the computer programer. You will need to find a repair shop that can get into it or pay $100/hr for BMW to do it. These cheap BMW models are rittled with problems.
