Oh I forgot the KEYS in Phoenix...

[fst2002]

Next situation... KEYS. I've heard the horror stories from my buddy back east on replacing the ignition switch - Another one of those "I could probably do it but" . . . Can a dealer still get keys for these cars?

Thanks!!!

yes - how many do you need?

original BMW blanks are available from dealer

our local hole-in-the-wall locksmith had blanks and cut a few for me, for under 10 bucks (total).

Which "hole-in-the-wall" did you find them?? For future reference.

Theres a difference in key blanks. the OE keys are steel and expensive. The hardware store keys are soft and cheaper. Either works fine. I have some of each for my cars. The old crotchety dude who cut my OE keys bitched about how the steel keys were hard on his machine
