E46 Key

[SPetzer]

I need to replace my key and recode the immobilizer system on the car. Any ideas on the cost to do so?

Last I checked it was R 1900, from BMW i'm sure it is much cheaper now.

 

[dyllindd]

Nope, I need a spare key and BMW Northcliff Auto quoted me R2000

 

[Epoc]

My key was replaced under motorplan last year January and the cost was R1797.01. I don't think you will get it cheaper then that.

there are guys in pretoria that can have it done for you ; they said R1500 last time i asked.

If you dont find anyone in JHB, then call this guy here in Pretoria: Jacques 012 346-6450, tell him Francois Spietkop, the guy with the blue AC Schnitzer E46 refered you. Good luck.

Im working on this folks, I will soon be able to to do this, equipment ordered

 

[Bayn46]

Soon you can tell us how badly the stealership is really ripping us off :rollsmile:

 

[zaleonardz]

Well, thats not actually the case.

The new key's are being manufactured using non BMW original tools and then coded accordingly. For the dealer to do it, it has to come from germany.

I have the same problem. Sandton Auto: R1900 for new key and R350 for recode

 

[Pr0PheT]

do it before you loose your only key, because then bmw will charge you about R9k for a new EWS, 2 keys and full lockset...

 

[zaleonardz]

there are ways to bypass that as well prophet... but ya.. its expensive

I just need to find somebody that can lazer cut the keys for me, and i should be able to help out.

 

[ZOMBIE]

I can get this key for R800.00,the transponder needs to be coded and key cut.

Spoke to Mike at Fast serve Hazelwood, R1800 ALL inclusive, they provide the key, cutting and coding.

Or if you bring your own key R1250.

And it's close to menlyn, so for me its a win!
