Lost My Keys... :(

Recommended Posts

I recently had a car donated to my program without a key.  It was a late 90's Honda.  I brought the proof of ownership to the dealer and they made me one in about 10 minutes, about 7 bucks.  And it works perfectly!

 

Check with your BMW dealer before you do anything drastic.  The 40 plus years old angle could present a challenge, but it is worth a shot.  You never know. 

 

Locksmith may be able to help you out also.  Keep us posted.

 

And, if it works..... get TWO keys made!  ;)

 what, you never had a couple of extra sets made ??

 

 way back in 1976 I was in Fresno in July with no spare set.  I used the ignition key as a pry bar ..... and at noon it broke into 2 pieces !!  I got lucky and found a key shop only 1 mile away.  A long hot walk.  The guy was able to make one.  Another long hot walk.  The new key worked.  I drove back and had the guy make me 2 sets (ignition and trunk).

 

 I still have the original ignition key ...... with only 1-1/2 years of wear it is like new, except it is (still) in 2 pieces.

 

Cheers,

 

Carl

 

p.s.  and yes, I keep a spare set hidden on the car, just in case .......

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
