Replacement keys
The locks for the luggage compart-
ment lid and the glove compartment
cannot be operated with this key –
this is recommended for valet park-
ing, for instance.
Replacement keys are available exclu-
sively from your BMW center. Since the
keys belong to a security system (refer
to "Electronic vehicle immobilizer" on
page 33), your BMW center is obligated
to be sure that a person requesting a
key is authorized to do so.
If possible, take all of the master
keys that belong to the vehicle
with you when you pick up your re-
placement key.
1 The master keys with remote control
determine the functions of the Key
Memory. Refer to page 55
Whenever you receive a new replace-
ment key, turn that key to position 2 in
the ignition lock once (ignition switched
on) and then back. This allows the elec-
tronic vehicle immobilizer to "learn" the
new key.<
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key that is
charged automatically in the steering
lock as you drive.
For this reason, if you have a master
key that is not used, use that key
approximately once every year while
driving for an extended period to
charge the battery. Refer also to
page 35.<
2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for continuous use
