you get your key from online or the dealer? I thought the dealer wanted like $300 for a key?

I tried that a couple times... I didn't have much luck, so I searched for a good source to get keys... Here is our part number for just the one remote fob key... Realoem says it is about $130... I think they stopped updating the prices for the older vehicles... It's always a ballpark number anyway...

RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog

And then you put the part number in here and voila! I do apologize... I thought my total price was $152 and change... Here it's $153 before shipping... Shipping is about $7.80ish... Maybe the 2006 key is cheaper?! LOL!!

Good luck with the battery replacement!!
