Welcome

It’s more like 10 seconds if you use the manual key in my experience!!!
Is that ment to happen i ment and is it due to the key fob not being used ?
Does your car have an alarm? I think you have to lock with the key and twist twice to set and only once to unlock. If you live in a highly populated area and a high rate of car thieves, not using the fob is good. They cannot pick up the radio transmission from the key as they can in the fob.

Hints and tips. I have owned a 2005 Cooper S (known as R53s) for 2.5 years. These cars are rather unusual, quirky and idiosychratic.
So the list of 'hints & tips' is quite a long one.
Are you a DIYer or take it to a mecahanic person? And where are you? In the world and in your country? You haven't completed your registration, otherwise we'd be able to see that - as you can for me.
If you answer these questions, should be possible to provde some relevant assistance.
