Stolen Key
My house was broken into and my spare set of car keys taken. The BMW here in spain has said I need new locks, two new keys and the keys to be coded, all at a cost of 700 Euros!! Does anybody know if there is another way around this. I thought maybe I could order another key and have them both recoded??? any suggestions. Dont know if there just trying to do me over!! Thanks

New keys (and the one you have) will be recoded again, leaving the stolen key un-coded!!!
Still, anybody with a key can open the driver door but they won't be able to start the engine - this is why they suggested changing the locks... It's your decision

The dealer (if they know what they're doing) can disable the key electronically to where the EWS (immobilizer) won't let that key work anymore.

I'd call the dealer again and talk to the service manager or shop foreman (to make sure it's someone who knows how) and tell them you had keys stolen, and need to have them turned in the EWS to make them inactive. From that point they need the X5 and all remaining keys and about 1/2 hour on the GT1 tester.
