Misplaced one of my key fobs

ArieArie · 11-26-2018, 04:55 PM

It seems like I lost one of the keys to my 2018 F80.
What options do I have to get a second key.

Thanks!

Has to be programmed by the dealer. So best deal is to buy from them.

I think that if you have one working key, you can program a second key yourself (see manual).

certified BMW dealership.

I know those fobs are pricey, shoot Brit (brit@bmwpartspros.com) a quick buzz to confirm but I believe we are no longer able to sell keys and ship them, you have to physically go in and get these now, could be wrong, if we can then we will def give you a discount as always.

but so everyone is on the same page, you can only get a OEM key from a BMW dealer.

A few years ago my jacket (a nice ///M jacket) was stolen in a bar and the key to my Z4 M Roadster was in the pocket. I'm glad that I opted to buy the thin plastic BMW key from the dealer shortly after I purchased the car used. I had that key in my wallet and it allowed me to unlock the car and drive it away. That incident left me with only one real key. To get another I had to order at a BMW dealer, show the registration and a photo ID (DL).

Misplacing a key fob is a costly and inconvenient mistake. I also never keep my key fob in my jacket anymore, always in my pants pocket.

Head over to your dealer and bring your checkbook.

~$900 total if you want a new fob and your lock cylinders (door and glovebox) swapped out.

Im thankful I didn't have to buy a new one.
