About BMW key replacement
BMW uses the most sophisticated key security in the mainstream luxury market. Their EWS (older models) and CAS (newer) modules require specialty diagnostic equipment to program — equipment most general locksmiths don't have. We do.
BMW dealers charge $500-$800 for what we do mobile for $320-$450. The reason: BMW dealer service is built around full-service bay labor at $200+ per hour, while we're a mobile specialist focused on this one job.
Typical programming time
30-60 min, longer for all-keys-lost
On-site at your location. No towing needed.
Cost vs the dealer
BMW dealer: $500-800. Us: $320-450. Up to 75% savings.
