75 Key replacement.
Hi
Just bought a 75 but it only has one key. Had a quote from a local locksmith shop of £280. Does this sound correct? Thanks in advance. |

You can get them cut online . See adverts on ebay where you send a photo and they wll be cut exactly for you. Your main issue is getting a fob and transponder coded to the car . Big russ on here may be able to assist you there,as he is a trader on here. There are other members who may be able to assist you if you do a search on here. T4 or similar will be needed or you can read a few of the past threads regarding a new key purchase from BMW.

As suggested contact Russ. He did a key for my 260, don't think he can cut the blade though, certainly didn't use to. A good, independent, locksmith will do that for you. |

I have an original Valeo unused key for sale which has an original, unused ready to program transponder (not Chinese copy of transponder). This key would come with the original blade which will be useless to you. As has been said above you can have a blade cut on Ebay from a photo for £10 I have used this service and it is excellent. If you send your EWS I will program the transponder to your car FOC. The cost of the key is £65 and includes an unused remote, which you would code to your car using TOAF. If you could get Big Russ to provide you with a key that would be your best option in my opinion. Tommy :-)

You need a trip to Liversedge to see BigRuss, spare key all coded, replacement case for old, T4 session for error/problem checking... £60... And he does a cracking brew too! 🙂
