    Default i lost my keys...

    So i'm at my school and i just realized some how I managed to lost my keys. Do you know how much it costs to get another key? is there some inside secret? can i call bmw?

    thanks a lot

    i was quoted $300 to get my key made by a locksmith. I was hoping another cheaper alternative.

    thank you!

    pretty sure you can take the VIN + title to BMW and they can get you a key.
    it might take too long but should be less than $300

    My dad had a few keys made for his e32, Had to send BMW his Title, Registration, Copy of DL, vin # and contact information which i think he faxed. I'm pretty sure thats how much it cost. I think for a new key cut with the light in it from bmw was somewhere from 35-60 bucks, still not 300 and sorry i can't remember how much it cost . I know this won't help much but might be a good alternative...

    50 bucks all your title registration info and a trip to the dealer. call them first!

    Per Murphy's law:
    Your old keys will surface soon after you receive your new ones. the probability of your old keys surfacing is directly proportional to the amount of money you spend.

    You guys must have early '95s without EWS-II if your dealer can cut you a key that will start your car.

    what do you mean?

    my dealer didn't cut it, he had to order it from a shop in new jersey that does laser cutting.

    i don't quite understand what you mean.
