Is your BMW key dead? Or is it working intermittently? It happens to a lot of people because the rechargeable battery inside the key does not last forever. When this happens a lot of people try to cut the key open to replace that battery and they end up damaging the circuit board inside. That’s what happened to me and I ended up having to buy a new key from the BMW dealer. Well I wish I had seen this video before I went through all that, because it would have saved me a bunch of money!
A viewer of mine named Ismail actually has a key making and fixing business and he came and hooked me up! He made me some flip keys and even fixed the bad diamond key on Black Savage. And he let me film it all for you guys!

The best option is to just order a new key from thebmwminiparts store. They are cheaper than most dealers. It will be a real bmw key cut to your vin and pre-programmed for your car. You have to also send proof of ownership for your car, obviously.

Interesting topic. On a similar note, I would like to install a pager alarm in my impreza and was looking for a tidy solution. Is there a way to make the all-in-one key? Like, taking an aftermarket alarm system and moving the immobilizer and actual key from oem key in to aftermarket one, that came with alarm system. Do these things exist, or do we still have to carry a bunch or keys end remotes?
AK90+ is around 27$ on ali 🙂 ordered my 1st key and programming module. all around 40$
Very good video and good information. How much genuine diamond key would be from BMW in USA?

How do you find the original key template if we say lost our original key?
Hey 50skid, can you do a video on how to touch up scratches?? Some prick scratched the crap out of my e46 🙁
Dude, I can’t see what he is scratching off. Why didn’t you get any close ups? Wtf
Ismail, i’ve got a euro pre-facelift e46 with the old style 3 button key. Does a transponder of a diamond key work at the same frequency as that of an older style e46 key? In other words, am i able to buy a diamond key and program it to my pre facelift e46? It’s a 1998 euro 320d.
Great video btw, i’ve done these keys before but still enjoyed watching this, very well explained as well.
I’ve made a few keys myself this summer and programmed them using the AK90 programmer.
One thing to mention is that you make sure you select the right chip in the dropdown menu on the right. If you choose the wrong chip, assign a key to a slot and write that hex file back to the EWS module you will brick it. There is a number on the chip inside the EWS module where you put the AK90 socket onto, it must match with what you select under EWS read/write.
Would this work on a 2007 BMW 335i?
Basic clear nail polish would be perfect for re-coating those connections. You can find it being used to successfuly seal/waterproof various basic electronics around the web and the Youtubes.
Are you not god! You've gone to lengths that nobody has on the e46 wow sir wow <3
Happy new year dude!!! 🙂
I'm in Missouri, I fixed my E83 key (diamond key) by putting in a new battery and it worked for like 3 months then the battery died again so I was going to replace it with a battery I bought from Pelican auto parts but I broke the thing inside the second time taking it apart so now my key doesn't work for keyless entry. anyone in Missouri able to do this for me?
Great video!!!
How much does he charge to make a new key?
Great Vid! Need a Key! Bad battery in old key. Where do I find the battery that Ismail uses?
Great video now I can replace my e46 battery and now I need to find another video to do a copy key for my e90. Thank you keep the good work.
Great video as ususal thanks man
Love the video thankyou for the info ,I live in Las Vegas & theres plenty of locksmiths here ,but they don't like to mess with BMW's cuz of our EWS..I am going to send my new keys and my OME key to this man and hopfully upon return it'll work and solve my starting issue..
Great video just what the doctor ordered. My key was jacked up by the previous owner and I have been trying to figure out why the buttons aren't working. I guess Its time for a new key.
Thank you guys so much for this video. Just in time.
