Can't you get the key fob on ebay and have it reprogrammed at the dealership?

In California it is best to get the key from BMW directly. The price is less and they will send it to your dealer for pickup. 888-575-5397

got the key from my shop - half the price so if anyone needs one, please contact your local shop since they might pass the discount to you if they are nice enough.
