- No Functional Test, you won't know if it'll work until you receive the key back

This might be nit-picky but i'm assuming because BMW is European and they follow the Euro Environmental regulations for electronics that we'll have to use ROHS solder which is a tad costlier.

So, unless someone wants to be a guinea pig....I won't know precisely how long it takes without a sample. I'm estimating conservatively, 30 mins?
Thanks for the follow up. I see your points and they are pretty important especially the functional test part. I'll be in the SF bay area in January for a buddy's baby shower. Any chance we can meetup on a Sat to test this out? Or if someone who is local can volunteer to test this out then that would be even better. Anyone?!
