Replacement Spare Key e91

Bmw330 · 03-14-2021, 01:05 PM

Hi,

It appears I have lost my spare key and as I’m looking to sell the car thought I’d get a replacement. Bmw want a silly amount for a replacement, found a few companies online that say I can send the key and CAS module....

Has anyone done this?, is there any issues pulling the CAS module out?

Thanks

I need to get one for mine. Out of interest how much do BMW want for a new one?

BMW don't want silly money unless you have comfort access.

I got a new key for my E92 direct from BMW when I purchased it a year ago and it cost me £175.

Most places were not charging much less than that anyway.

I found a company and was quoted £80 for one with the key slot cut

When I looked into it, to make a new key using the CAS module, the programmer was required to solder wires onto the board. It all seemed a bit retro for my liking and I'm usually pretty happy with this stuff.

Up to you. Have you thought about just not bothering and selling it with one key.

I did think about selling with one key, I’d just imagine people would use it to bargain £200 off the price! . I suppose if someone causes a fuss I’ll just knock them £100 off ....

I’ve just contacted the company to confirm if anything is modified in the CAS unit. They didn’t mention it when I spoke to them ....

Yeah confirmed there is some soldiering involved, didn’t realise that, maybe go BMW route instead now ....

I didn't think it was worth the risk either. I really don't think the spare keys from BMW are that bad value to be honest.

Still have the option to sell with one key.
