Dave Murray 5 Report post Posted February 11, 2021 2006 BMW Z4 E86 3.0SI So I'm 6 weeks into ownership and slowly working through the things I want fixed/done to the car. It only came with one key, and looks to be original. The remote function will open the boot, lock the car, but it won't unlock the car. Car will unlock/lock using the central locking button in the car center console. So I'm hoping it's the key.... But need another key anyway.... So... Where and how? I understand the official method is via a BMW dealer, who uses VIN no, and proof of ownership etc, then has one sent from Germany (expensive). I've tried the other, a cheap copy from China (Aliexpress), and attempting to reprogram this key while inside the car, turn master key 5 times, press and hold open button while pressing lock button 3 times..... No luck. Didn't work. Also, the cheap copy buttons were very stiff. Any thoughts or suggestions lads. I'm up in Whangarei 😁😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to leave the ignition turned on for 5 seconds not turn it 5 times 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
