You have to talk to the dealer and see if they can rectify the situation or nothing can be changed at this time.
P.S. Sorry, I didnt see Ianbrown already wrote that.
This ABSOLUTELY can be addressed. You just need a dealer level computer to first see what key number the new key is, make sure it's activated, and that the two keys you have are the only two keys active. With an Autologic, it's pretty simple. But since the OP just bought the car from a dealer, it would make sense that they might do this programming without charge. It will take at most 10 minutes. I just went through this exact situation with my E70. The one key that came with the car, and the new one I had to order, now both work perfectly with comfort access.
