Description of the problem	The car was parked at a flat space parking lot. When i tried to open the vehicle using a fob key, the alarm started to go off. I was not able to access the vehicle other than using a key blade to open the door manually, however all system was dead. I have replaced the fob key battery, checked the battery status, and ran the error code system, but everything was fine. After some research, i've found out that there is a recall on the similar models (bmw 3 series) for a fuse box - battery connection issue. And giving a good press towards the fuse box located in the glove-box did fix the problem temporarily, however the issue has kept happening since then. 3 series manufactured march 2007 through july 2011 have been recalled during the nhtsa campaign id number: 13v044000. My model, m3, uses the same design and same parts as 328i and 335i for the fuse box and battery connection, and the same issue has been occurred several times not just to me but to other m3 models, but this model for some reason has not been included the previous recall campaign.
