BMW keys?

[OOMPH!]

The plastic on my key broke apart, So where can I buy another key other than the dealer?

Any help would be great.

Thanks, George

Dealers the best bet or you can buy one off of ebay and have a locksmith cut it.

I went to the dealer and got the later looking key (early 90s) WITH light and cut for $26. Was cut there in a couple minutes and I was good to go.

Yeah that's the key I have, the one with the little light built in. There aren't any dealers that are around the corner from me because most are in the suburbs so I was wondering if I could buy one online and have it cut somewhere local.

my key had the light in it, and i changed it to an LED light, (best mod i have done so far....) NOT.

I dont know the part #, I went and got this long before I knew anything about E30s. Its just the key the gave me. I had to replace my older style lighted one because the edges had worn so much that it barely started the car.

Ive also seen it used in E32/E34. Its head is a bit bigger and the light part slides out instead of actually taking the keyhead apart

I got the one that looks just like that for my wife on ebay, but hers just has the roundel stamped in the plastic, not an insert like that one. I want the one in the pic!

I got a keyblank on auction eBay. Check FS/WTB forum. Only at $4.99 right now. End tomorrow.

hmm my key is about three times as thick as those.

I asked at the dealer as I want a spare.. The parts guy mentioned something about verifying the proper key by the letter on the key itself. There's two of em, S and E i think it is. One of the two is longer than the other, so make sure to verify length and depth.

anyone know how much the lighted key is from the dealer?

Ive heard as low as $13.
