Once you have a second working key then open up your first key and reflow everything.
The RFID circuit has at least a couple components that are SMD soldered and have solder joints....

I'll call the local dealer(s) and ask if they'll sell me a valet key for my X5, today. If so, I'll take my key, to let them see the blade pattern (and maybe test it for function), and my title to verify ownership, as soon as possible, so I'll be able to repair my diamond key, or take alternative steps. I can't fix the fuel problem if there is a crank problem, too.
I made a mess cutting open my OEM key 4.5 years ago, and glued it together, only to find out that it wouldn't crank the X5. So, I cut it open a second time, foungd and soldered a wire trace I must've damaged, glued it together again, and it worked. Now, I must repeat the process, but I have a dremel clone (Wen) to use, since my old Dremel quit while working on this key, instead of a dullish utility knife.
 key has seen better days
 I bought this for the upcoming key solder job
