this guy http://bmkeys.com/
Get new key coded. Give your address to said coder. "Dude, where's my car?"
I'm the one that first posted about him and he is totally trustworthy.
I gor the Bentley style flip key from him all coded with a new transponder in it (no need to butcher your old key) and it works great.
Some people have posted that using Gaptech with original key, you still have to be quite close to the car but I have no issues activating the roof from at least 30 feet away with the flip key!

Guys I just spoke to Ben who I know very well at BM keys and mentioned that a few ppl are not to sure about the service as they haven't used him before and yes it is dodgy asking random ppl to cut keys for you and he asked me to post the following link...

I think things have come on a long way since the early days when in essence the transponder could not match to the car so that was it as far as buying old keys, coding, etc. Only option was getting a new stealer key.
Seems this guy also programmes the car's module, so gets a matched set that way. Also explains why it's not a postal process unless you park up the car for a few days and mail him the module.
Certainly worth considering rather than paying the £150 is for a dealer key.
Not that it would ever happen but in line with comments does make me smile about how a claim for car theft woudl go when you explained you'd posted your key and car's module to someone, then the car vanished

Hi guys.
Billy brought this thread to my attention, so I felt the need to sign up and answer any questions or doubts you may have.
I specialise in repairing and replacement keys.
I can supply, cut and code new keys while you wait, or it can be done via post.
I also repair non working keys.
I can provide links to various forums with positive feedback and if you look through my eBay feedback, I have 100% positive feedback from all my buyers.
Any questions, fire away.
Thanks

I dont actually code the module, i take a hex dump of the eeprom chip, thus giving me the rolling codes for the 10 pre coded keys.
I then code a blank chip to suit.
As for cars going missing, how long could I expect to last without the old bill knocking on my door and me ending up behind bars?
I am a BMW enthusiast myself and ended up providing this service because I needed a spare key myself and couldn't find anyone that could do it.

Hi BMkeys. Great to have an explanation and thanks.
Of course the car vanishing was pure humour. One of the things that makes this forum such an active community
My daughter has just purchased a 1 series with 1 key so may well need to avail ourselves of the service.
