Don't know about the blanks, but only about £8 from the dealers. Just take ID and your logbook and they'll order you one ready cut.
Or a few quid from a cheapie key cutter

No Al, sorry. Wasn't me.
You can still get the key with the light in the top if you want too, think they were about £18...

Not sure if the dealers can help then, they go by the car id, any shop that cuts keys should be able to cut you spares with no problem.mash320i wrote:my locks and that are different as i have a different key for the door and ignition! but thought if you could get blanks i could get them cut!

One difference, IIRC, is that genuine BMW keys are steel, whereas aftermarket stuff is usually softer brass.

I would suggest you get the key number off of the barrel and take that to your dealer
the key number should start hb with 5 digits afterwards
