ok so we just got a 2002 cooper s

remote locking not working so changed battery nothing.

what i did discover is if you sit in the car and hold the key literally next to the mirror it locks fine so its a range problem it wont lock if the key is more than one inch from the mirror

also locks and unlocks with key just inserted into ignition.

could it be the receiver or just a bad key?

This could be the BCM

Try taking the earth off the battery for a minute. Then reconnecting.
Then start the car. Operate both electric front windows to reset the auto open down etc. Switch off.
get out lock as normal with your lock button. You may find that cures it.
Well it did for me.

Regards
