Lost key fob

frenchfries · 09-23-2014, 06:32 PM

I lost my key fob over the weekend.
Is it possible to transfer the lost key fob profile over to the new one?
How much would it cost for a new one? ( cheapest route)
Thanks

Yes, possible. Not sure on cost but IIRC it's somewhere around $400+

If you have multiple BMW dealers around you, it would be beneficial to you to call and get pricing on your new key from several. That's one of those things a lot of dealers stiff you on. Exact key price really depends on if you have comfort access or not. Make sure you have the last 7 of your VIN ready when you call.

Keys are chipped per VIN so you can't order online. Even when you get it, the lock/unlock buttons won't work. It will have to be paired with the car.
