2008 E61 535xi Wagon - Keyless Won't Work

I have a '08 535 wagon and the keyless entry will not work. To date, I've repaired all broken wires on the far left and right sides and checked all fuses. However, still no luck. Is anyone aware of other potential causes for this? I do not have comfort access, so potentially the FOB battery is the culprit?

If the keys are original, it's most likely the fob itself. The battery is pretty easy to replace. It's about $20 for a new battery and a new fob case on Amazon. You have to destroy the old one to get it apart and solder the new battery in.
