Spare key

Jon D · 09-25-2012, 03:56 AM

Does anyone have any idea what a spare key costs?

I'm on the verge of trading in my F10 for an F12 and I can't find the second key. All I know is that I put it somewhere safe - so safe, that after turning the house upside down for 6 hours, I can't find it!

BMW will tell you it takes hours of coding and has a suitably exorbitant price tag but, if you can find someone with one of those Watchdog gizmos you could have a new one in 2 minutes

I'm guessing £200+ easily but haven't ever had to buy one.

Although the key is completely different, (it's an actual proper key), it cost £160 for a second key to be made from the dealer for my E39.

Thanks to all for your help - the dealer is ok with only 1 key.
