Re: lost my key
Sounds about right. At least for the E39/E46, you can't get the keys duplicated outside of the BMW dealer network. While you can make the physical cut, the immobiliser needs to be programmed by factory.
You can ask them to disable the lost key, so that even if someone tries to start the car with the lost key, it won't start.

Re: lost my key
Unfortunately no way out. The only other people who come close to cutting an immobiliser key is Hwa Keat. Do a search on goggle, they are at Turf city, but they cannot do BMW. Anyhow, their price also pretty fierce.
I paid $350 to PML. They can duplicate my immobilier key for my S2000, but wanted $120, got it from the agent at abt $100 finally.

Re: lost my key
I just called PML parts today and told them that I'd like to purchase a key as I had lost one of 'em.
It would cost >400bucks for 1, plus another 70 bucks for programming it.
470 bucks for a key....ouch.
I'm keen to find out if any other forumers had other avenues of getting their key replaced?
Many thanks!

Re: lost my key
Here's my feedback from my trip to the key shop :
I asked how much did it cost to get a blank there for programming, quoted around 4-500bucks. (Note that PML is asking 400 for a new cut key matched to the car)
Next, I produced a blank and asked them to cut it : they wanted 60 bucks to cut it. (note that this is just cutting the key, not programming it).
What do you guys think of the pricing?
So I've programmed the new key to unlock and lock the car etc... all happy.
One final step : I need to get the transponder within the key to be recoginized by the EWS. Anybody knows who I can approach to do this?
