Key blanks

[bmwcliff]

The 1975 we just bought came with only one set of keys, where or who would be best to get some blanks before we lose the one set we have?

you can get them at most any old school locksmith . There are 2 types of keys. steel (oe) and a softer material which i dont know what its made out of. They are not as robust however. I have OE steel blanks for ignition and 2 styles of trunk locks. Otherwise someone had an online source for aftermarket keys and im sure a search would turn it up

I know this has been mentioned before and there is a good website for it, do a quick search and you should be able to find it. I'll run one real fast.

Edit: Heres a possible spot

They are also available at any dealership. There are probably cheaper venues, but the dealership has steel keys and they're not all that expensive - probably around $6. If you get one there ask them for a reference for a locksmith that can cut steel keys. Some shops don't want to cut them on their machines.

I got a set of blanks from BLUNT. He will need a picture of your existing keys (mainly for the trunk lock).

Maybe your local dealer is much more reasonable, I contacted mine about this less than a month ago, and they wanted $26 a pop for blanks, and they wouldn't cut them. I went to a locksmith and got 'em for $2.50 a piece. they're not steel, but get a few extras made and you won't have to worry about it

list price at a BMW dealer should be

about $7 - $14

nothing like a Quality Original Key

I had a neighbor that came up to me, said I used to have a 2002 like yours but I was cleaning out the garage and found these. He gave me two factory blank 02 keys that he had no use for. Sweet! I took them to my local lock smith and had them cut and they work great on my tii.

i got a couple sets of nice bmw ones from blunt, and i have also picked up a couple sets of no name keys from the local locksmith. the bmw keys i use, the cheap local sourced keys i keep as spares.
