About $145 shipped to your front door.

BMW Parts -

Sean used to be the contact there, not sure if he is still there. You will need to Fax/PDF a copy of your license & registration as proof of ownership.

Key will be shipped cut to fit locks and will start the engine assuming there are no other problems.
I agree that another key would be helpful, I'm not sure it will resolve the issue. The GT1 analysis suggested that the key is ok as the GT1 was able to see the key, read it, and examine it and returned a no issue or error msg.

The problem that needs to be corrected is a re-alignment of the DME and EWS communication. That't what I hope to do next and if that fails, I will go the 2nd key route.
