Lost Key
Any ideas on how to get an extra key out of BMW without paying $200+?? I recently lost my key and need a spare. Is this covered under warranty? If not, any ideas on how to get an extra key without paying mucho dinero??
Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance |

I keep all keys with a 'Lost Key' tag, in Canada supplied by charitable organizations like the War Amps, or TB Vets. It's a tag with a serial number and a PO Box address with postage guarantee. That way all anyone has to do is drop a set of lost keys in the mailbox, and you will get your keys back.

Take your car in for service. When you get it back, while there not looking, simply pocket the key. Then dont leave, go back inside, and ask them where your key is?! Tell them you have to go home now and get your extra key to move the car! Leave angry and tell them you expect them to get you a replacement! Its a sh*tty thing to do and I never told you to do it. But after my service dept. LOST my car for an extended period of time I would have no problem with it. btw, yeah last time when I went to pick up car from service kept me waiting over 45 minutes. They finally came over to me and explained they are having trouble locating my car! Took them over an hour to find it!! |

P.S. You did just post this suggestion on a public forum so "I never told you to do it" might not fly, LOL P.P.S. It is really bizarre that the dealer lost your car. I am guessing they just loved the car, took it to have lunch and flashed it around as their own!! |

Looks like a lot of people are jackin BMW keys. check ebay you might find your own key there being sold for $40. You just need to get it programmed at BMW. Ask to see how much it would cost for programming. |
