Keys
1 Master key with transmitter for the
remote control determines the Key
Memory functions, see page 54.
Every key contains a long-life re-
chargeable battery which is auto-
matically recharged from the ignition
lock, while the car is being driven.
If you have spare master keys which are
not otherwise in regular service, it is ad-
visable to use them about once a year
for a journey of some distance, so that
their batteries are recharged. Also see
page 35.<
2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for continuous use.

3 Door and ignition key
The locks for the luggage compart-
ment lid and glove compartment can-
not be operated with this key – this
may be beneficial for valet parking,
for instance.
Replacement keys
are available exclusively through your
authorized BMW center. Your BMW
center is obligated to ensure that a per-
son requesting a key is authorized to do
so, since the keys belong to a security
system (refer to "Electronic vehicle im-
mobilizer" on page 33).
Whenever you have been handed
a replacement key, insert it into
the ignition lock and turn it once to
position 2 (ignition switched on), then
back to the home position, so that the
electronic immobiliser "accepts" the
new key.<
