BMW keys: spare or replacement
Only one BMW key left, or none at all? Check compatibility and arrange mobile assistance in Geneva or Vaud.

A BMW key does more than open a door
The shape of a key case does not identify a compatible replacement by itself. Vehicle access and permission to start a BMW are separate functions to assess. A remote that still unlocks the doors may behave differently when starting the car.
Describe any dashboard message and what happens with a second key, if one is available. These details help prepare the assessment without assuming immediately that an entire new key is needed.
Spare keys, Comfort Access and BMW generations
If you want a backup or share your BMW, we assess a spare against the vehicle’s generation and equipment. Mention Comfort Access: hands-free functions need to be included in the quote and in the agreed checks.
EWS, CAS, FEM and BDC refer to different system generations. Identifying one does not guarantee that every operation is possible. Feasibility is confirmed for the actual configuration; some recent security systems may require a manufacturer procedure.
Planning assistance when every key is missing
Tell us whether the BMW is parked outside, underground or behind a locked garage door. We assess access, replacement-key options and the documents required. Identification and evidence that you are entitled to use the vehicle will be requested.
The agreed job covers the functions specified in your quote. Handover checks include starting, locking and the compatible features agreed beforehand. Bring any other available keys so their checks can be organised.
Models to discuss with us
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Series ; X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 ; Z4 ; i3, i4, i5, i7, iX1, iX2, iX3, iX ; M2, M3, M4, M5 and X M
Model names help identify your request. Support depends on the year, generation and equipment; each vehicle is checked before an appointment is confirmed. Independent service, with no manufacturer affiliation claimed.

Your questions
Can a used BMW key be programmed?
Do not buy one purely because it looks right. Its reference, preparation status and the vehicle generation need to be assessed before reuse can be confirmed.
My BMW key is locked in the boot. Do I need a replacement?
Not necessarily. Explain that the key is still present and request an opening assessment. Recovering a trapped key is different from replacing every lost key.
