Good question. I won a key on ebay and was told to take to dealership or find a forum that has programming instruction. Can any comment on this or help?

you need special tools to do bmw's along with others. when you order a key from the dealer it is already programmed to your car and cut as well the bmw only holds ten keys and when the dealer sells all ten keys you need to replace the computer or go to a locksmith with the rite tools to do the job.

You can buy an uncut one from eBay for 50$ and then use this methods to program it: http://www.programyourkeys.com/BMW_X...ogramming.html

But you don't have to but the key from dealership, you can by one from a bmw service or bmw parts dealer and get it with less then 150 euro.
