Hey everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has any info on ordering a spare key for the E60? Mine is a 2004, so it has the conventional key system (no start button).
I got the car with only one key, which isn't too good... any ideas?

Yeah, I figure I'd need to go through the dealer.
Any ideas what this cost? Can I just buy the valet key (with no remote on it) and have it be cheaper? Or maybe buy just the spare wallet key?

Just ask the dealer -- they can order and program one for you...

I bought a valet key for $35 a few years back. BTW, your local dealership cannot make the valet key. It has to be made in NJ and mailed to you.

Thanks for the input... my local dealer quoted me $25 for the plastic key and/r $125 for the real key (with the built in remote), which includes "programming". They also informed me that they could order as many plastic and real keys as I want, not just one.

It's also self reloading (with no battery).
Actually the key prevents you car form being stolen.
No insurance company is stupid.
