BMW key replacement in Northland
Lost your BMW keys, or want a spare before you do? We cut and program BMW keys on site, anywhere in Northland.
BMW keys are more involved than most, and a lost-all-keys job on one is a different piece of work from a straightforward spare. Tell us the model and year when you call and we will tell you honestly whether it is a job for us or for the dealer.
What we see on BMW keys
A mix of ages, and the age is what decides everything. Some are straightforward for a locksmith and some genuinely belong with a dealer, and we would rather tell you which yours is on the phone.
Models we are asked for most: 1, 2, 3 and 5 Series, plus X1, X3 and X5. If yours is not among them, ring anyway - the list is what comes up often, not a limit.
Worth knowing: Ring with the model, the year and whether you still have a working key before assuming anything. On BMWs those three answers change the job, the time and the cost more than on any other make here.
What we can do with a BMW
- Open the vehicle when the keys are locked inside, without the window going through it.
- Extract a broken key from the door or the ignition, and cut a replacement.
- Replace a worn remote, or the case around a working key.
A worn key is a warning. If your BMW key has to be jiggled, held at an angle or pushed hard, it is telling you it is near the end. Copying it now, while it still works, is far easier than decoding a lock after it has finally failed.
We come to the BMW anywhere in Northland, from Whangarei to the Far North. Have the model, the year, whether it is an import and whether a working key still exists ready when you ring - the four things we always ask - along with photo ID and proof the vehicle is yours.

Questions
BMW keys - your questions
Can you make a BMW key if I have lost all of them?
In most cases yes, and at the vehicle rather than at a dealership. It is a bigger job than duplicating from an existing key, so it costs more - but it very rarely means a tow. Ring with the model and year and we will tell you honestly what is involved for your BMW.
The key case has cracked. Do I need a whole new key?
Often not. If the chip and the remote board still work and only the shell has split or the blade has worked loose, a new case is a much cheaper fix than a new key. Describe it when you ring and we will tell you which it needs.
