Identify Your BMW Key Type
BMW keys come in different types, traditional keys, remote fobs, and smart keys, each requiring specific tools and programming. Identifying the type of key you have will help us provide an accurate estimate and ensure the correct equipment is used for your BMW key replacement.
About BMW Keys
Since 1995, all BMW cars come with an advanced anti-theft system that ensures only a properly programmed transponder chip in the key can start the engine. Once a BMW key is programmed for your vehicle, it can’t be used with another, ensuring your key is uniquely matched to your car. Over time, BMW key fobs have evolved with different transponder chips and designs, keeping pace with modern technology.
BMW keys vary by model, with each generation offering something new. For example, older E Series keys are sealed units, making it impossible to replace the battery, while F and G Series keys feature replaceable batteries and keyless technology. All BMW remote keys contain an emergency blade which can unlock the vehicle if the electrical fob doesn’t work.
BMW Key Services
With over 17 years of experience and 10,000+ reviews backing us, you can trust us to handle all aspects of your BMW key replacement with expertise and professionalism. Our services cover everything from programming transponder chips to repairing faulty keys on-site.
BMW Key Replacement
If you’ve lost or broken your BMW key, there’s no need to panic. We provide same-day replacement services, which means you won’t be left waiting for days like you would at a dealership. Our mobile locksmiths can arrive at your location, cut a new key, and program it for your vehicle in as little as one hour.
BMW Spare Keys
If you only have one BMW key, it’s a good idea to get a BMW spare key made before any issues arise. Having a duplicate key on hand can prevent the stress of being locked out or having to replace a lost or damaged key at the last minute. We offer fast spare car keys for every BMW model and key type at a competitive BMW spare key cost.
BMW Key Programming
At Car Keys Solutions, we specialise in car key programming. Our programming will ensure your BMW keys will work seamlessly with your vehicle’s advanced security systems. Whether it's a new key or a replacement for a lost or damaged one, our expert technicians use the latest diagnostic tools to ensure your key is properly programmed and synced with your BMW.
BMW Key Repair
If your BMW key is broken, cracked, or malfunctioning, we can often repair it on-site. Many customers find that repairing their BMW car key is a more cost-effective solution compared to a full replacement. Our technicians can address common issues such as faulty buttons, worn casings, or dead accumulators.
BMW Ignition Barrel Repair
Problems with your BMW ignition barrel can be frustrating and inconvenient, but our experienced technicians can fix these issues without needing a complete replacement when possible. We can repair your ignition barrel on-site, whether you’re at home, at work, or even stuck at the roadside.
BMW Key Fob Battery Replacement
If your BMW key fob stops working due to battery failure, it’s usually possible to replace the battery yourself. However, if you’re unsure how to replace BMW key fob battery, our technicians are happy to assist and ensure the key fob is functioning properly.

What Influences the Price?
The BMW replacement key cost is subject to several factors. Here are some of the main factors that influence the BMW replacement key cost:
- Mobile vs Garage Service: Choosing our mobile service, where a technician comes to your location, can be slightly more expensive than visiting one of our workshops. The added cost accounts for the convenience of on-site service and the travel required.
- Type of Key: The type of BMW key you need, such as a traditional key, remote fob, or smart key, plays a significant role in the price. Smart keys and remote fobs tend to cost more due to their advanced technology and additional programming requirements.
- BMW Make and Model: The specific make and model of your BMW also impacts the cost, as newer models with advanced security features often require more complex key programming.
- Vehicle Specification: Your BMW’s unique specifications, such as its year of manufacture and security system configuration, can affect the price. High-end models or vehicles with upgraded security packages may require more intricate key programming, leading to higher costs.
