Automotive Keys 2000-2008 BMW / 3-Button Remote Head Key Vancouver

You may notice two listings with the same name for 2000 to 2008 BMW three-button keys. They are not duplicates. BMW fitted different remote frequencies and board versions depending on the model and the market the car was built for, and this listing is one of those variants. The case, buttons and laser blade look the same; the electronics inside are what differ. The fastest way to pick the right one is to give us the VIN. Failing that, the series, year and a photo of the inside of your existing key will tell us which board you need. Ask us to confirm for your trim/year before ordering, because a key with the wrong board can be cut perfectly and still never talk to the car. Once matched, the job follows the usual BMW sequence: cut the two-track blade on our code machine, then synchronise the key with the car's EWS system and register the remote to the central locking. We work with the vehicle present, either at the shop or on a mobile visit, and need ownership papers and photo ID. Worth knowing: if the buttons on your current key have quit but the car still starts, ask us about recasing first. It may be cheaper than a new key.
