The earlier BMW style keys are allocated by immobilser system when the vehicles are built. Thus key 1 & 2 would be supplied with the vehicle. If an additional key is required then the key is made in germany using key 3 details, the next key, key 4 details & so on.

I've been told it will work. Chap at the dealer said the new key and the old one can both be re-programmed, and this will render the outstanding stolen key u/s.

Went into Timpson today and showed them the existing key. |I told him my situation and asked him if he could cut a blank key and he said he could. He then asked me if there was a transponder in it and I said yes. He stuck my key into a small device with a slot and a digital readout and it showed a transponder and some other stuf on the LCD display. He said he could programme the new key to match the existing one, so that the car will start! He can't program the central locking, but I have instructions on how to do that anyway.
