Lost my Keys

Post Thu Jan 30, 2014 10:24 am

Like a fool i managed to loose my set of keys with the one and only key for my e30....

Is there anyway of finding a code or reference to have a new key cut?

There is a code on my steering column but it looks more like a part number code as it is only 8 digits long

Any help would be great

Thanks

Take the v5 and Vin number to a BMW dealer they will order a new key.

Hopefully the car still has its original lockset.

if you can get a lock out, take it to a locksmiths and get a key cut to the lock - costs around £30 in hayes

Give me your VIN number and Il get you a quote. I need the last 7 digits. I binned my E21 key and I got a new one cut for like 6 pounds

Probably a good idea to order two!
