Getting a second key for my 130i?

[johnny12]

Hey,

I recently bought a 2006 130i which came with one key. I shudder to think of what I would do if I lost it / the dog eats it / my toddler throws it in the toilet. I'm basically trying to be proactive and get a second key now, so in the event of any of the above happening it's alot less painful than trying to sort it out when I have no key.

I presume Bmw Australia will ask for my leg as a deposit so I presume somewhere overseas can sell them at a slightly less ridiculous price?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Did you buy flinchy's old 130i? There's a recent thread over on e90post aus section about getting a cheaper replacement key.
