Since our separation my ex still won't give me my z4 keys. Can you just order a replacement key from bmw?
 
Yes- as long as you are the registered keeper of the car and can provide the V5 and the sack of gold they will charge you. I think it's in the region of £150 from what I've read.
 
I would phone the DVLA and ask about replacement V5. It's £25 for a new one but it will probably get sent to the registered address unless you can do and address change over the phone at the same time.
 
Blimey, think I'll convince Mrs Geezah that we need to move to Saudi Arabia......just in case!

This should help, you can get a replacement v5 fairly easily using this PDF form. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time...
 
That's just petty and spiteful :thumbsdown:

Surprised she's not just taken the car. Can you have your solicitor speak to her solicitor to try and sort something out ? I've always wondered - as registered keeper and owner are different things... How do you establish ownership of a vehicle ?

Goodness knows. She wants half of everything so to use the zed again I've got to give her about 2.5k...to use my own car!!!! :headbang:
Hasn't turned a wheel for about 2 months now poor thing. Discs gone rusty, looking really sorry for itself :cry:
Surprised I haven't seen you in Aldi on one of my man shops :rofl:

Yeah my solicitor is contacting hers at the moment to establish a few things.

Also, recode your car key to the car as I believe during the sync will de-activate the other key, as will effectively de-register it. Am sure that guy I used BMKEYS on eBay could make you a new one, but you'll need to take your car to him in Essex

My suggestion is that once the key she won't give back is made dead, you simply make it a 'cost' attributable to her during the divorce settlement (inc your fuel & solicitors cost in this)

This way u can forget it & stop u worring she may just 'move' it out of spite... or you could always hide it, report it stolen & tell the police she's the only one with the other key.... Now that would cause her grief!!! (Any clues I might have some practise at this?)
 
Not cool :thumbsdown:
A head's up if you weren't already aware, if the battery flattens, the vehicle could lapse into 'transport mode' (a glitch on E85s). It will jump start fine but switches some of the electricals off and requires a diagnostic to clear :(

Did I misunderstand she took both of them?
 
serious... yet another thread that confirms to me ill stick with girlfriend/boyfriend status.... marriage get way to nasty imo..... especially as the stats say theirs probability a younger marriage will fail.....

or be smart, get engaged and leave it their for 10 years.... :!: :!:
 
The plastic 'valet' key will open and start the car as it too has a transponder for the immobiliser embedded in it.

Good luck ninja'ing your car off her driveway :thumbsup:
