I recently purchased an used e60 but was only given one FOB. How do I go about getting another one and how much am I looking at? Should I just go directly to the dealer to purchase one?

Thanks in advanced!

Step 1: Insist the dealer provide you the second key. Shoulda required it BEFORE you paid for it
Step 2: ONLY order the key through the dealer
Step 3: Come back here and cry about how much the dealer charges you for it . Do you have Comfort Access?

The car was purchased from a wholesale dealer. They contacted the dealer where the car was returned and he only returned one key and I believe he had to pay for that key. No, I don't have comfort access. I'll contact the dealer to see how much it will cost me.

Just checked on a 05 545i replacement since mine from a wholesale lot didn't include but one. Local Memphis BMW dealer said $215. I spoke with the sales people where I purchased mine and they ordered one thru their account and it was $150. Check with your salesperson.
