Lost only key - far from home.

[illmatik]

I drove about 3 hours to the beach and ended up losing my only key. Yes I'm an idiot and I didn't get a spare, I just bought the car a few weeks back.

I can get a ride to the dealership tomorrow morning. My car is unlocked so I can go in the glovebox and get my pink slip with VIN #, insurance papers and whatnot.

Will BMW be able to cut me a key on the spot? It's also Sunday...

Am I fucked?

BMW open on Sunday? hahahahahaha

THat is a plain old BMW key. It has no chip so a locksmith should be able to help you out and charge much less than BMW (even if they are open lol)

Associated Locksmiths of America Inc. (ALOA) members adhere to high standards and will be able to help you. If their shop can't make your key then can refer you to one who can. Most dealers don't make keys, but they can order them. I needed one for my sons 97 328is and the dealer had it here from Germany in under two days. You will pay for it either way. Good luck & as always...keep a spare key where you can easily obtain it.

Some places dont do laser cut keys.. Just a thought.


Hope everything works out and you get back to booty patrol on the beach :D

sorry about your misfortune. i locked my keys in the car once(actually the car did, damn self-lock system) but luckily i had already made a spare. cost me $37.79(no chip because it is a '93)

bmw is probably gonna charge you a grip. locksmith was gonna charge me 300... but i can get you this number that will charge you about 30 bucks and its legit. problem is it takes 2-3 business days. 3 hours is far but not that far you know? lemme know if you want the number.
