wondering l if anyone has info on the key fob circuit diagram or a list of parts for the key fob for my e85 z4,I have a broken capacitor to repair and replace.
Thanks !
 
where are you based (I'm assuming Basingstoke based on profile)? It'd probably be easier to buy a blank including the remote from AliExpress (around £6 - £9) and then swap over the transponder and blade, then re-program the remote which is super easy to do. You don't need any special tools when doing the remotes
(You only need to code stuff if adding a new transponder.)

This

Will be much easier than trying to fix the existing.

The problem is the transponder pcb so am I able to order another transponder that was would be compatible ?

Yes and no.

Yes, you can order a blank and that will come with the remote AND a blank transponder chip - the £6 - £9 I mention come with everything.

The reason I also say No is because it's not a simple swap - you would need the transponder coded to your car. You can spend £15 and buy the tool yourself from china also via AliExpress (AK90+) or find a member who can code it for you. I code keys, based in Cambridge CB22

Coding a key yourself will involve getting the AK90+, using the simple software it comes with, knowing the procedure (which is easy enough) & removing the EWS Module (10min job).
