Automotive Keys 2006-2013 BMW / High-Security Emergency Key Vancouver

BMWs from 2006 to 2013 hide a slim, high-security blade inside the remote key. It slides out when you press a small release, and its only job is to open the driver's door when the remote battery or the car battery has died. Owners often do not realise the blade is missing until they need it. It falls out in a pocket, gets left in a drawer, or was never with the car when it was bought used. Like other emergency blades, it has no transponder and no transmitter. It will not start the engine and there is nothing to program. What matters is the cut. The internal track on BMW blades is milled rather than notched, so we cut it on a code machine to your car's key code or from an existing blade, for a smooth turn in a lock that may not have been used in years. That last point matters in our climate. A door cylinder that never gets turned can stiffen up, so we suggest trying the new blade in the door once in a while. Check the blade style against your remote before buying, since BMW used more than one insert in this range, and ask us to confirm for your model and year.
