How to Replace Lost BMW Car Keys


1. Visit the BMW dealership in your area (See Resources).
2. Provide the dealership with the 17-character vehicle identification number of your BMW. The location of BMW vehicle identification numbers can vary, but are usually located on the door frame, dashboard or steering column.
3. Provide the dealership with identification and proof of vehicle ownership; a valid driver's license, car title and vehicle registration is sufficient.
4. Pay the applicable key replacement fee to have the service manager at your local BMW dealership order a new key for your vehicle.
5. Wait for a call from the BMW dealership notifying you that your replacement key has arrived. Pick up your replacement key from the dealership or ask the dealership service manager to mail it to you.
