E90-- tale of lost key fob and keyless entry

[eokh]

Folks

me again !!
this is really not my week.
had a rough week at work.

then my home CEO lost her E90 key.
Dont ask me how ... its simply lost.
and now it is my fault bcos i "should have just bought that fxxking S80 that has keyless entry"

my question is
1. How much does it cost to buy a new key fob ?
2. if i take this opportunity to upgrade to a keyless entry/keyless start ... how much $ should i be looking to blow ?

any kind advise is most heartfelt appreciated

I think u need to hire her a driver. Key will not get lost & got ppl to open door. I think the key is about $500 before programming. Somemore, have to wait hor.

Re: E90-- tale of lost key fob and keyless entry

as what davidtch said, new key is about $500. need to wait a few days for it to be shipped in. car needs to be programmed to remove the lost key from the list stored in the car and new key programmed to the car.

comfort access retrofit can be done (not sure PML will do it for you). but it will cost a few K not to mention a new set of keys as existing non-CA key fob cannot be reused. also all door handles need to be replaced.

not sure if you are pulling a fast one on me.

i referring to S80 keyless entry/ keyless start
aka comfort access in BMW lingo

yes and no

No bcos the reason she lost the key is bcos she was trying to pocket the key into her jacket whilst carry our little rascal
key drop out w/o her noticing.

and we have combed the area thoroughly in vain


hence it is her believe that if the car had "comfort access", she would not have to take the key in and out of the pocket and would not had lost the key.

truth to be told... this is also the only grouse i have about E90 and the only 1 single thing i miss about the S80.
Else, the handling, acceleration, cosmetics win S80 hands down

hi David
