Don't know about blanks, but a good key cutting shop should be able to cut you a key if you give them the key code, which should be written on the owners handbook. Think it's part of the VIN.

Take them to a proper locksmiths, not a shoe repair/trophy shop, with your usual key and they will sort them in about 5 mins.

Your local BMW dealer's parts department should know of a local locksmith who can do BMW keys.

i was a locksmith for 5 years and key cutting is really easy if they know what they are doing,
definately go to a locksmiths but not one of these all in one van types as they are normally just franchises.
but dont expect it to be cheap because when we cut on other peoples blanks we charged more incase a mistake was made.
