There could be several reasons why the CD cartridge is not ejecting from your 2003 BMW X5 E53. Here are some steps you can try to get it out and potential causes of the issue:

1. Check the CD player: First, make sure that the CD player is on and functioning properly. If the player is not working, it may not be able to eject the cartridge. Check the player for any error messages or signs of malfunction.
2. Press the eject button: Try pressing the eject button on the CD player. If the cartridge is still not ejecting, you may need to try a different method.
3. Use a thin object: If the eject button is not working, you can try using a thin object, such as a paperclip or needle, to press the eject button. Insert the object into the small hole near the eject button and push gently. This may release the cartridge.
4. Check the cartridge: If the cartridge is still not ejecting, there may be a problem with the cartridge itself. Check the cartridge for any signs of damage or wear. Make sure that the CDs are properly inserted into the cartridge.
5. Check the CD player mechanism: If the cartridge is not damaged and the CD player is functioning properly, the issue may be with the CD player mechanism. In this case, you may need to take the car to a mechanic or a BMW dealership for repair.

It's worth noting that some BMW models have a security feature that prevents the CD cartridge from ejecting if the battery has been disconnected or the car has been jump-started. If this is the case, you may need to enter a security code to unlock the CD player before you can eject the cartridge. Check your car's manual for instructions on how to enter the security code.

There is no cold start relay. Cold start mode ( open loop, rich, high idle) is controlled by the ECU. A coolant temp. sensor signals warm up to shift the ECU to closed loop mode(warm, lean, normal idle). Check the coolant sensor and correct coolant level. The thermostat controls warm up time.

check transmission oil level

under spare tire.

replace oil level sensor

replace sensor. Its part of the expansion tank.

Computer is in constant cold start mode, dumping too much fuel into the engine, because of a faulty temperature sending unit. Has nothing to do with the transfer case for AWD. Replace the temperature sending unit and all will be well. All computer can do is what it's told, and it's being told the engine is not warm yet and keeping it in cold start mode.
