Qsilver7 is on a distinguished road
The Autologic was probably used to program the key's seat/mirror settings (not assign any EWS ISNs)...and the initialization was only required for the FZV & DWA (remote central locking/unlocking & arming/disarming of the anti-theft alarm siren system...which only requires turning the ignition to position 1 then off, then pressing the remote buttons in a specific sequence...yada, yada, yada).

New keys from BMW don't require EWS initialization...because the transponder chips have aleady been assigned to your vehicle when it rolled off the assembly line. Ten original BMW keys are already set-up to be ordered for each vehicle due to the 10 spaces designed in the EWS control module (all of this has been covered in lots of detail in previous posts in this thread ).

Here's more...that explains how the EWS control module is assigned 10 keys as it rolls off the assembly line.
