BMW Key Types
Which key your BMW uses depends on its generation - here's the rundown.
Traditional metal keys
The oldest BMW models use a plain metal key with no electronics - a simple cut.
Transponder keys
A chip programmed to the car - on most BMWs from the 2000s onward it lives in a remote fob with a high-security laser-cut blade.
Remote keys
BMW's familiar wedge-shaped remotes combine the blade, chip, and buttons - handled together in one visit for most models and years.
Smart / proximity keys
Push-to-start fobs that stay in your pocket, including BMW's Comfort Access keyless entry on equipped cars. We confirm your model year on the phone first.

"Excellent service! Prompt and friendly. Helped with our car key replacement for our Chevy. Especially helpful when the dealer says three days for an appointment and charges you three times as much! Highly recommend."
"My experience with Marco was great! He came here to Union City on time, he was able to make me a new key from scratch for my Chevy Blazer, he gave me a great deal and also helped me with a spare key for free! Awesome guy with great prices, very friendly too!"
"I called Marco's Locksmith Service yesterday to schedule an appointment for a key replacement and also ignition repair my Ford F150. The technician arrived on time, he gave me a fair price before starting the job and also he was fast and friendly. Absolutely amazing service!"
