Hey yall:
Yes, I searched the forums first and am dealing with the typical question: How best to have a spare key for my E53 X5. When I bought it, it only came with one... *grrrrr* and constantly worry what happens if it gets lost.
Way back, I remember ordering a new key from the dealership being $100 something.. (yes, maybe a LONG time ago) but was quoted $270 a couple of days ago.
I dug around in the forums, and remember from my E46 that some better dealerships floated around.. order from them, they mail you the key, and had better prices.
Any suggestions? My local hardware store who CAN do "advanced keys" at normally about $70, cant do an E53.
