Can a locksmith program a BMW key?
Whether you’re the proud owner of a BMW 1 series, 3 series, 5 series, Z4, or any other model, we’re highly skilled in key, remote, and ignition repairs, as well as key reprogramming, lock picking, decoding, and EEPROM programming. If you currently have a BMW remote that’s not working, it’s highly
likely you will need a replacement. We’ve found that with most modern-day vehicles, after a few years keys can stop opening and closing, and this is because they use rechargeable batteries that are not replaceable, so after time the remote function of the key no longer works.
As with all leading automotive manufacturers, we’re aware of the common issues and can quickly and efficiently ensure you regain access to your vehicle. If your transponder key is damaged or broken, we also specialize in key programming using cutting-edge equipment that connects to your BMW’s electronic system. At the same time, we’re able to create spares quickly and efficiently – so it doesn’t have to be a lengthy process!

Everything Drivers Should Know About BMW Car Key Replacement
Drivers who have lost their BMW keys will admit how stressful the experience is. Some wonder how they will commute to work. Others fear that thieves may steal the car while they are asleep. Luckily, such drivers can solve the inconvenience by applying for a BMW key replacement.
Nowadays, people use key fobs so we will focus more on a BMW fob key replacement. To understand the process better, we have to address certain questions below that some drivers may have.
FAQ:
How much is a replacement key for a BMW?
The cost of replacing lost BMW car keys depends mainly on the type of key necessary for the vehicle to start, and the costs vary depending on the service you need.
- For lockout- Start from £99
- For Lost key- Start from £149
- For Key repair- Start from £129
- For Copy Key- Start from £129
- For Key replacement- Start from £129

What information do I need to give to the locksmith?
To program your BMW car keys, the assigned locksmith will need to have the following information at his disposal:
- The model of the vehicle
- The year of purchase
- The car registration details
- The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
The above information is necessary for the locksmith to understand the type of key that your vehicle needs. The VIN is normally located on the dashboard, on the driver’s side.
The locksmith will need the relevant documents which will confirm that you are the owner of the vehicle.
Which areas do you cover?
Having centres in areas like Barnet, Bromley, Croydon, and Hertfordshire, UK Auto Locksmith offers 24/7 Automotive Locksmith Services, including lost car key replacement, emergency car lockout, and key and remote repair services
What Happens If You Lose Your BMW Car Key?
Some drivers may rush for a BMW key replacement, but there are things they can do first. They could try locating it with a key tracker app. If you cannot find it, then you can deactivate it. After all, you wouldn’t want the key to fall in the wrong hands.
To deactivate the key, you must do it through third-party services such as BimmerTech. It will be rendered useless within no time, and you can consider a BMW fob key replacement.
Can I Start My BMW Without the Fob?
It is possible to start your car without a BMW key fob. You can locate a small hole on the driver’s side next to the steering wheel. After that, insert your key into the hole, and the car will start. Unfortunately, if you lack a car key and a fob, a BMW key replacement becomes your only option.
Even though you can start the car without the fob, we do not recommend it. First, its alarm will go off, which will annoy your neighbours. Another challenge is that the car will not lock itself, which means anyone can enter it. That means you cannot run away from getting another fob.
How Do I Replace a Lost Key Fob?
You must order one from any approved BMW centre to get a replacement BMW key fob. At the centre, a technician will ask for your car’s 17-digit VIN. The VIN is near the front of the windshield or the driver’s door jamb.
Additionally, you will need proof of the car’s ownership, such as the car title and driver’s license. Finally, you will pay a fee so that we can send you the new BMW key fob.
How Long Does the BMW Key Replacement Process Take?
If a driver’s key needs a battery change, the process takes only 15 minutes. However, if you need a new fob key, it can take up to two days. That is because we will need to inform the parts department so that they make the parts available for it.
