gouba 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2011 A lady from work has lost her own set of keys for a 1996 e36. So she needs to get a lock smith in to sort out a new key set. From memory the key sets for an e36 didnt have the transponder technoology yet, is that correct (if yes, im sure it's an expensive trip to BMW). Car is located in Auckland CBD. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good automotive locksmith in the area? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EWS II for 96-97 .. the chip is is molded into the key. Up to 6 additional keys may be ordered as replacement keys. The EWS II control module is codeable for only 10 keys (4 delivered with vehicle and 6 replacement). BMW order sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
