There's an article in this months Roundel about how BMW has a temporary exemption from legislation requiring them to allow registered locksmiths to be able to make keys 24/7. Legislation to make this exemption permanent just failed in CA. So it looks like very soon, BMW may have to start allowing locksmiths to make keys. So owners don't get stranded for days when traveling.

How about owners putting the valet key is a magnetic case and securing the key underneath, Bell makes a watertight/rare earth magnetic case that I use for exactly that. On long trips with the fiancee I ensure she is carrying the 3rd key in her purse. Owners need to focus on the "ounce of prevention" so the laws don't ram a "pound of cure" down our throat that will only allow criminals easy access to ALL our keys. You CANNOT mandate VINs that are visible (1960s law in the USA) and then take the chipped key data away from BMW exclusively! The BMW database connecting VINs to key chip RF data should remain the exclusive domain of BMW. Allowing locksmiths acess to this data will result in a drastic increase in stolen BMWs!!!!

Just to some up the whole thread, NEVER let your battery die with key in the ignition, unless you like making trips to the stealer for new keys.
I received my new keys today (1 day turn around was pretty impressive) and the X5 came back to life on the first turn!!! Thanks again for all the help along the way. |
