unless the dealer wants to be nice, you're screwed.

when i got my f33, it only came with one fob and the sales guy said let me look for it. i waited and they said they would find it and mail it to me. i said take $500 off now or I walk.

they took $500 off.
i drove the car home and after i got the paperwork saying i was the owner with the vin on it, i went to my local bmw dealership and ordered a replacement key. it was like $412.

it came in three days. i went to pick it up and they said you want us to sync/program it? it would be an hour of labor. i laughed, walked out to the car and synced it in seconds myself. there's no programming to do. you buy the key already programmed and cut to your car. that's why they verify ownership with the vin before ordering it.
