Thanks for the update...and now your post makes more sense. I was trying to figure out how a used or blank key got around the EWS transponder chip's ISN.
It's the EWS feature of the key that stops-up the works. Without the same ISN (individual serial number) that is assigned to the EWS control module and DME...the car won't start.
The FZV & DWA features are kids play...any fully charged BMW remote key (using the same frequency & from the same generational BMW siblings e38/e39/e46/e52/e53/e83/e85/Z3) can be programmed to lock/unlock & arm/disarm the vehicle.
