I thought it was just my key needing a new battery but the spare key (the wife's) has been doing the same thing. I have an invoice for 2 new batteries for the keys when I bought the car in January, so doubt it is batteries.
The strange thing is that the car always unlocks with either remote from quite a distance and only decides the key isn't present sometimes, not always. I keep the key/remote in the same pocket always.
Any ideas?
BTW car doesn't have comfort access just keyless start (or not).

Does it still start, despite the message being displayed?
Not a BMW, but in our XC90 we had an aftermarket wireless charging unit and that interfered with the key signal so we'd constantly get 'key missing' warnings on that.
A google search suggested wireless chargers could be the cause so I removed it and it's been fine ever since!
