Description

BMW GM5 central locking unit

As time goes by and the vehicle gets older you will notice the central locking system will start playing up. Sometimes only one door opens, either drive or passengers side and the other door doesn’t open. The problem will keep getting worse till it gets to the point that it no longer opens and closes. Usually you’ll start to have problems with unlocking the door before issues with locking the door comes along.

The same thing can happens to the windows sometimes a specific window will keep getting stuck and having a mind of its own. Open and closes only when it wants and you will hear a clicking noise coming from the glove box.

VEHICLE DETAILS:

E46 – 3 series 1998-2005

E52 – Z8 (all years)

E83 – X3 2003-2010

E85 – Z4 2002-2008

COMMON FAULTS:

We currently don’t repair the newer model which is the GM12 unit. Only the GM5 unit which is the 3 plug white unit.

The advantage of getting you old unit repaired against ordering a new unit, a new unit will require coding from a BMW dealer or approved dealership and will be much more expensive. Once we carry out the repair on the unit it will not require coding and everything will work as it should, plug and play.
