Need Help Getting A Spare Key For My Car

335iSmiley · 02-27-2014, 04:06 PM

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone has any contacts on getting a second key made for my car. I have a 2007 335i coupe without the comfort access. I just stopped by my BMW dealership and they wanted $274 was wondering if anyone can get it cheaper. I only have one key so I need a spare incase I lose it and then I'm screwed. LET ME KNOW THANKS

Locksmith here, I say you contact any locksmiths in your area, with a stand-alone shop to drive to.

Some locksmiths can do these keys, and cheaper than dealers. I'll tell you now though, under $250 isn't bad at all.

Aloa.Org and use the Find A Locksmith tool.

That isn't bad. My new X5's key costs $1,400.

e90Mark · 02-28-2014, 09:03 AM

That sounds right. My dealer charged me $280 for key with CA.

I have a spare key for sale. I think I might have 2 in fact. You just need to have it coded to your car. Obviously the physical key itself won't work.

Most generic cars were $75-$125 so hearing $274 from BMW was actually not surprising.

Yep...

Since when did this become an Engine Modification? Wrong forum much?

Not some all the locksmith are cheaper than the dealers that's why i prefer locksmith for all locks related problems.

I added key cover to my insurance which was very cheap and they just paid for bmw to make a new one.

That seems right. My dealer charged me $285 for the key with CA.
