I did a quick search and didn't find anything.

My key looks like this and I don't have a spare (bought the car like this):

As you can tell the unlock button does not work.

I need some replacement options. Any help will be appreciated

What do you guys think of this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-KEY-UNCUT-325i-330i-525i-530i-540i-3-Series-E46-E60-/290757388982?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b27daab6&vxp=mtr#ht_2591wt_1414

Shop around on the dealerships. Some charge significantly less than others.

You can do this with the ebay remote or,get a new spare key from the dealership.

Thanks for the replies. Since I only have 1 key I will just fork the money and try a few dealerships. The last thing I want is to screw it up and not be able to drive the car at all.

I only got 1 key with my car as well.


WTF do people do? Lose keys? or keep it for memories?

You will be surprise how many people lose the spare key. I had a lady lose BOTH keys for over a month and called in to try and turn in her leased car. :facepalm
