(this is probably where I screwed up, did not read this one and did not know I had to "hold the start/stop button until the 'no key' warning light disappears")

If this doesn't work, you may need to take your existing key fob out of signal range when activating your new key, to prevent interference. To do this, unlock your BMW with the existing key, then have somebody take it a reasonable distance from your vehicle. You can then place your new key against the steering column and press the start/stop button."
