down the road just a common or garden key cutter trust me it works mine does,but bear in mind it will not start the car even if you buy a fob with a barcode it still needs a new chip which i think you will find are like impossible to get unless you buy complete key from BMW Germany.
i did wonder if you could drop a live wire to solenoid and start it that way never read on here where its been done by a member on here, but just a thought as that is the way we taxi drivers start taxis with dodgy ecu`s.

There are only a few different types of ships. If you have a fob with the correct chip type then you will just need to go to an garage with a T4 to get the key paired to the car.

I've emailed the guy , I have to say he's got quite a few neg ebay ratings

and some of his replies to negs ... welll hmmm!

and his answer to my first mail was almost impossible to understand,

I'm still wating for his answer on the blade, i.E is it a key or just a blade that I can clip in my new PLIP fob.

We will see..

Anyone know if a Beemer blade will fit , they seem to have small groove down one edge..

Chris

PS.. Steve did you get the badge ok ?

thanks for th info..

the key has been on my to do list . this thread has just triggered interest again.

Always had a problem with the £100+ for a key. I've only got the one as well.

Reckon when time permits.. ( family always finds someting to get in the way)

I'll make my own blank .. its only a bit of metal.. out on the mill etc .

take care

Chris
