A 1996 has EWS and it may require realignment or replacement.

The EWS is the drive away protection that compares the information stored in the key to the car. Sometimes that communication becomes irregular and the EWS requires realignment. This can be performed by the dealer or an independent BMW agency. Either way, you will be visiting a repair facility, choose one that you feel comfortable with, one that has the needed equipment to perform these repairs.
