BMW Torch Key

[tom325sport]

I haven't got the torch key for my e30! I have the rest of them though. The standard plastic key, the metal key and the small half key.

Are these available from the dealers? If so I know that I would need to take in the relevant documentation (V5, ID). Also will BMW cut the key and how much for the whole thing - key, bulb, battery ETC?

Been looking at this but can't see the key for torch?

Yes you can buy a brand new torch key. BMW sell it in blank form and get it cut at any key cutters.

Make sure you use the standard plastic key and not the metal or half keys to use as a copy.

That's great!!! Than you for the picture/part number as well.
How much was this please? And does thus come with a working torch?
Thanks again.

Comes with a working torch but i cant remember how much. I think it was about £20 when i bought it two years ago.

i could do with a new one of these keep forgetting

so can any key cutters do it properly from your original to the blank ?

tom can you please post the part number and price when you find out

Polsta - The part number is on the packet in the picture - 51 21 1 900 894

But I was going to ask as well that this is number 12 from here...

But there are quite a few 12's to pick from? Is the above part number correct and what do the other number 12's get you?

[polsta]

well it would have to be a blank one, but there are 2 blank iluminated ?

12 GENERAL KEY ILLUMINATED (BLANK) *CODE 5000 ? 51211151014 $25.15

good shout on the link

2 door handles, and a new bulb and battery for my key here are needed !

Love the way part 17 Rosette says "ONLY APPLYS TO CO-DRIVERS SIDE", not passengers mind but co-drivers.
BMW showing its motorsport legacy here.
