When I bought my 2001 740il I was given two regular keys and a plastic emergency key. Last month, a chip in one of the keys broke, and I guess it isn't sending a signal to the motor to start? I've been using the other set, but unfortunately I got stoned and lost them. How? I have no idea.
The stealership told me that they can only reproduce 10 keys per car per system, and that I'm on key 8 already. So if I replace these two keys, I'll be on key 10. He said after that, I need to have all the locks changed and have a bunch of shit reprogrammed, is this true? I feel like that's some lame shit BMW would do, but I also feel like they're full of shit. Two keys were $400, so I can't imagine what it would cost to change the locks and get new keys if I lose another set...
