Replacement car key
Hey guys
Just wondering if anyone knows where to get a decent price for a replacement key for my e92, dealership I bought it from only gave me 1 key Found a website earlier on today http://bmwkeys.com.au/service/ and they quoted me a decent price but I don't know if it is a guaranteed thing, spoke to other places and they couldn't guarantee it would work lol Last thing I want to do is ring BMW and they tell me $1000! is what I've heard is how much it costs Any help would be great! |

I was quoted $1500 for a replacement comfort access key. There was a thread on here recently about a mob in America that did it for $400ish I believe.

Yeah the Carolyn/Martin Bishop mob seem legit. I ordered a comfort access key from them and they have been more than helpful, albeit the key didn't work. Though I took it into BMW the other day and with their key reader they confirmed it is a legitimate blank BMW key and that my spare key slots probably had been locked out or disabled so my car will not accept anymore keys.
I've spoken to other people who have ordered keys from the Bishops and their keys have worked out of the box with the normal initialization process. They can also get other parts with a bit of a discount. I'm told they are direct from BMW Germany and I believe it is their website and based in country NSW, not a third party US site. Keys are cheaper again from US dealerships so there is not much value in an Australian based operation selling keys to the US market where presumably their buying power and economies of scale makes things cheaper. Anyway I am going back to BMW next week who say they should be able to free up the slots and lock in the new key including comfort access which requires programming regardless. Fingers crossed. |
