hey i lost my keys up at Mt. holly here when i was boarding with my cousins, and the ski patrol didn't even give a shit to look for them... anyway, that was my only set of keys, and i have no idea what to do.. how do I get another key made for my car??? can the dealership make me a key if i give them the vin number or anything without giving me new locks and stuff??

I left my license in my 325, and I have my title, and a copy of my registration.. How do they know what key I need for my car if i don't have a copy?? Is it setup by the vin #'s or somethin? and do you know how much it is to get a key replacement?? thanks...
ps- i have a 94 325, still hope i can get the key made for it..

the dealer will make one for you, they have all the information stored in their computers probably. its not going to be inexpensive though. you should've have made a spare a long time ago though
ahh, i knew it would probably cost a few bucks.... it shouldn't cost more than $50.00 should it? I had originally had the key with the light in it, but i don't know if it would be cheaper to just get the regular one or not... so until tommorow my car is still sitting over at the mountain unattended....dammnn this crap..

I dont like those lighted keys, they are so clumsy and bulky. I drilled mine out a bit and put a laser where the light is. Then i lost it the next week.

it figures, I was riding in the terrain all night long since they put up new mailboxes and rails, and I knew I had lost em there somewhere.... I walked up the mountain after they closed and shut the lights off and the damn groomer had already went over the terrain park completely... that sun of a b!tc$... and I had the brand new $27 bmw keychain my brother bought me for christmas on there too....

So I got to my local Bav. dealer today, ended up, I ordered a set of keys from them, said they were having them overnighted from Jersey to me.. Only cost me $33 for the basic non-lighted keys... Not tooo shabby....now all I just hope my damn car hasn't been towed from the ski-resorts parking lot yet....it's only been 2 days...
