Default Factory Business CD radio code problem!

I got a BMW business cd radio from a bone yard, it came out of a 02 ZR3 tried to put it in my 96 ti but it won't take the code. Called the dealer, gave them the serial they verified the code was correct. After 3 tries it says code wait which then makes you wait a few hours before you can re-enter the code. The yard sent me a photo of the unit still in the dash before I bought it meaning it was probably working.

Is this a common problem?

Any suggestions?

how are you entering the code? I think that some radios you enter the numbers of the code in by pushing the radio preset buttons that have the number, but on others you have to enter the code by pushing presets 1-4 by however many times the number is

that's a very terrible explanation but if the code is 1324 you'd either enter it as 1-3-2-4 or 1-2-2-2-3-3-4-4-4-4, not sure how that radio takes the code
