Newbie - looking for a spare e70 X5 key fob

Just purchased a 2008 e70 X5 4.8i this past saturday: Cold Weather package, Premium Sound, Technology Package, Running Boards, 3rd row seats, and RearEntertainmentCenter. Titanium Silver, Black Nevada lthr, 55K miles. My son says it runs like a beast. I agree. I've owned BMW's since the late 70's (2002, tii, 320i, 528i, 535, 735 and 530i - all manual spd), but NEVER a V8! Here's my problem: the dealer (a Toyota dealer in NJ) could only produce one (1) key fob. They claimed that the couldn't find the other key fob, eventhough we called the previous owner who said that he dropped it off with the trade. The deal almost fell through because of my concern about the second key floating around somewhere ... My BMW dealer advisor told me that he could de-program the second key, essentially rendering it useless, except for the mechanical key part of it. My questions is: does anyone have a spare (or third) key fob laying around that they would be willing to sell to me. A new one is $200 from the dealer, plus another $100 to re-program it. Suggestions?Thank you!
