ZKE failure of the central locking module .
This fault is typical for BMW E46 ( 98-06 3 Series ) , the symptom is that when trying to open the car with the remote , the doors do not open , but , interior lights come courtesy , this shows that the key sends the signal , but the central locking ZKE module does not respond to the order.
