The LX8FZV remote head key, and how we set one up.
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.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 9 model years, 2000 to 2008, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- It runs on a CR2025 battery, which we keep in stock and can change while you wait.
- The FCC ID LX8FZV is usually printed on the back or inside of the original. Matching it is the quickest way to know this is your key.
- Canada made engine immobilisers mandatory on new cars from September 2007, so every year from then on in this range has a chip in the key.
