Replacement key

Gents,
What is the most cost effective way to get a replacement key?

Do you mean the key together with the fob? An aftermarket keyfob from a car key locksmith is a cheaper option but a keyfob from a BMW dealer will be better/OEM quality.
If for some reason, you want just the key (blade), this will be the cheapest.

I want another OEM-ish fob

If your key blade is still ok, then order just the fob. An aftermarket one will look just like the OEM but the quality won't be up there. If you want an OEM one, just contact a BMW dealer and they'll arrange it for you. It should be in the range of $US300. It cost me £275 in the UK.

Locksmith, they also carry OEM keys as well. Much cheaper than the dealership. They might not have the silver trim BMW Key as that is an "M" Key.

Maaaaaaaan lock smiths around me were charging more for my Honda Fit key duplicate than Honda was charging last month. Made me lose all hope that deals were to be had lol
