Does anyone know how to get past the serpi star immobiliser red and grey buttons on the fob. If I leave the car over nyt it won't start it turns over but there's no spark I'm sure its immobiliser issue normally a few times arming and disarming it will start but it got worse and now won't start at all.

Car battery getting a bit low, perhaps? Electronics need a certain voltage level to operate properly; below that level, all manner of gremlins and fuzzy logic start to occur!

Most of these things interupt the solid green wire that runs from the ign switch to the coil....
There's a plug/socket thoughtfully provided by BMW behind the glovebox liner.

Ok thanks all seems like it could be to do with voltage. Jump leads on and started, the engine turned over fine without the jump leads put a new battery on see how I get on.

Lead (crock. clip on each end) between battery + and ignition coil + bypasses the factory and most other immobilisers.
