Hmm I didn't know they charge a maintenance fee. I guess I need to look at my account. All I know is my Amex is automatically charged to keep a minimum balance.

Write to BMW, or find out who the selling dealer was and get it from them. Sounds like your dealer may be tough to work with. That's a shame.

I had both keys programmed by the dealer for individual settings. My wife has hers and it will adjust memory features to her liking, same thing for my key. Only thing is I don't use my key often,...
