What have you done to your car today?
Changed the waterpump and thermostat on Saturday along with a good flush and new coolant. Last waterpump lasted for 88k miles - so not too bad as BMW electric waterpumps go..... Looking forward to getting back out on the road and not worrying the pump is about to fail (at least for a while anyway) Coolant that came out was in good condition which was comforting.

Bought a new blank spare key on eBay for £30 yesterday with the car only having come with 1.
The local key cutters cut it for free to be fair to them and the “method 2” program worked perfectly.

Removed the “si” rubberised wheel parts and sanded down using 600 by hand ready for spray today.
Used matt black spray from Halfords. Will fit once dry and post results

Method 2:
To do this procedure you need to have one working key and one key that needs to be programmed.
1) Get in and close all doors.
2) Turn on the ignition and turn off quickly. (No more than 5 seconds) to start the process. Next action must take place within 30 seconds.
3) Remove the 1st key.
4) Hold the key up near your left shoulder (this is so it is closer to the remote receiver antenna.
5) Hold down the unlock button and press the lock button 3 times. Release the unlock button and the doors lock which confirms the operation.
6) Quickly repeat steps 4 & 5 for key #2 etc.
If it does not work, try doing the keys in opposite order. Key 2 then key 1, vs 1 then 2.

That won’t start the car though? It’ll unlock the doors, but It needs to be added by taking the module out and reprogramming it?

You need to get the EWS module read, and the key coded to that.
There’s a few on here that can do it.
