I suggest you *phone* the local dealer to ensure you're sitting down when they tell you how much a key will cost. -- Antony

At just under a 100 quid. <wince> Sounds right - I think ours was £95. This was the fourth key of a total of eight, apparently. Once you use all eight, it's new lockset time! Oh, and this will be handy when you get it, if the garage doesn't do it for you: http://www.ehow.com/how_5268779_reinitialize-bmw-remote-key.html -- Antony

Can't hurt to give it a go. I know that the E46 series (and possibly other series) suffered from problems with the earth wires where they connected to the rear light clusters. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=533309 Check carefully for signs of burning/arcing. Mind you on my 330D I had a chronic problem with the warning lights for the rear lighting clusters that was not due to the well-known earth wire problem and was only only solved with a complete re-wire of said lighting clusters.. -- Tony |
