Keys

From new, every X5 has the keys you indicated.
(2 master, 1 spare/emergency, 1 door and ignition).

If you buy a used/CPO X5 you may receive something less.

The X5 'knows' what keys to recognise. Go to a friendly dealer; they can plug your X into their dealer diagnostic system and tell you which keys are currently active.

With proof of ownership; they will disable any keys that are not in your possesion.

A new master key is expensive, approx $150 and comes from BMW direct and requires photo ID/ownership proof.

While at the dealer; consider turning on the 'disable alarm with remote only' option.

I noticed that there are 4 keys listed in the User Manual.
2 Master keys sets
1 Spare key
1 Door and ignition key

When I purchased my X (used) I only received 1 master key...So dose that mean my other keys are out there somewhere. . I'm thinking I may have to change my ignition to prevent thief. (Is there anything I can do?)

Also, How much dose BMW charge to cut a new key? I heard that MB charges in the $400 range (per key).
