The BMW remote head key, and how we set one up.
The look is unmistakable: an oval BMW key with the roundel in the middle, three buttons for lock, unlock and trunk, and a laser-cut blade. This listing is that key for BMWs built between 2000 and 2003, complete with the remote and EWS transponder. A worn BMW key usually fails in one of three ways. The buttons stop responding because the board contacts have worn. The case splits along the seam and lets water in. Or the key starts the car only sometimes, which points to the transponder or the antenna ring around the ignition. Only the first two are fixed by a new key, so we test before selling you one. New keys on this era of BMW have to be made to suit the individual car, because the EWS module and the key must agree. The blade is cut by code, and the key is then set up to your vehicle. That requires the car with us, the registration and your photo ID. If you also own a later BMW, note that the key shape and electronics changed around 2003 for several series, so the newest-looking key in your drawer may not be the right pattern. Ask us to confirm for your series and year.
