I've got a question hopefully somebody can give me some good advice, better than Hyde Park auto. I've got a 05 e90 320d as my secondary vehicle. I lost the spare key a while back and never bothered getting a new one. Now this weekend I misplaced the other and am still looking for it . I hope I still find it however I understand that if I do not find it soon I will need to have the car towed to BMW and by murphys law I will probably find the key afterwards.
I spoke to someone at BMW, i was told that the replacement keyfob is R1300 if you have one key and R4000 - 6000 if you have lost both. My main questions are, can the keys be programmed locally or do they need to be ordered from Germany. I was told the keys can be programmed locally but the locks need to be changed, why ?
Online sources indicate that the laser cut the key thing that slides out of the keyfob used for opening the boot when there is no battery power needs to come from Germany.
Anybody else been through this process with a e81,e82,e87 or e90,e91,e92 that can shed some light ?

Repeat step four for any addition BMW key fobs that need programming. Insert the key into the ignition to finalize. These instructions apply when you change the key battery or your BMW key has stopped locking/unlocking the doors, but the key starts the car. This procedure works on many BMWs including 3 5 7 Series Z3 Z4 X3 X5 M5 325i E38 E39. Insert key into the ignition and quickly turn it to position 1 and back 5 times, then remove the key. On your BMW key fob, hold the unlock button and press the BMW logo 3 times, then release the unlock button. If you have additional key fobs you’d like to program at this time, repeat step 3 within 30 seconds from the original key programming.
