The PO only had the spare key , well im assuming its the spare cause it has an S engraved onto the key.
So i cant do anythinkg like lock alignment or whatever other procedures with my key.
What the heck am i supposed to do??

I believe you can get a new key at the dealer if you supply proof of ownership and a VIN.
Lowered with blue h&r(?) springs, Bilsteins, tint, 19# design 3 injectors, Dual Magnaflow

Unfortunately yes. Alexlind123 is right, but one key is ~$225 CAD. I don't remember the exact amount, but thereabouts is what I remember one of the technicians at the dealer saying.
The one I am referring to is #18 below:

i can't remember what seporates a valet key from a master on the e34 style key, i think it's the groove down the center, you can usually make a valet key a master in a minute or two with a dremmel, if it was a e30 style key i could show you easy
heres a master blank you can look at, or buy http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-L...57028515QQrdZ1
