Key arrived and i have to say it does feel good quality I will give you a shout once i have been paid at the end of the month and arrange a key cutting visit
UPDATE: Given that the cutter is a bit hit and miss (I did a key the other day, that worked in all locks but refused to turn the ignition), rather than risk ruining anyone's key, if 'you' purchase a key, and get it cut from your local Timpsons or independent cutter, (I would imagine this would cost around £5) I can then program the key to start the car.
Going forward, I will only be offering Transponder & Remote programming (which is, in fact, the costly part via BMW).
NO, that’s the wrong key, that’s for a VW & won’t work. I’ll take a look and see if I can find one on eBay.
Edit: couldn’t find a UK supplier, but this is the correct item: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F231672592853
