I'll give the above a try and report back.

Checking my notes, I found the following parts numbers and prices. I'll guess the prices are from that link, and are up to 5 years old.
51 21 8 213 909 $47.01 General key, illuminated
51 21 8 213 932 $39.59 Service key. Plastic wallet key
51 21 8 213 931 $39.59 Spare key. Valet key. superseded to 51 21 7 124 770
51 21 8 236 594 $39.23 EWS III key (per the bmw mini parts store.com - shows …931 superseded to this)
66 12 6 955 750 $154.65 Diamond key. Master Key with remote control.
I wish I had got the "general key," but they did not seem to know about it, and got me 3x valet keys, which all work fine, just not in the glove box, and no light. BTW, the naming is not consistent between sources.
I then bought 3x used original diamond keys on eBay for $15 each, cut the key blades off, and programmed them to use as fobs with the valet keys. So I got 3x keys+fobs for $165.
I'm afraid to look, but I hear that replacement keys for my Cayenne cost $700+, in case that makes whatever you end up paying seem less painful. Good luck.
