I just bought a car that spent its life in Sweden and I am looking for a duplicate key. BMW dealer here say they can’t help me because car was not originally a US car. They said I should call BMW in Germany. Any help?
 
Don’t tell them it is a CSi, just ask for a key for your 3.0CS. If they ask for a VIN just tell them 2250609, they aren’t cutting the keys, you are just getting a blank key. It will have the Roundel on it. They are $45 or so. If they won’t help call Jim at Mesa Performance in Costa Mesa, he will order one for you
 
Thanks Chris. Once I have the blank key, how to I get the right dimple pattern for my car? I am confused.
 
Do you have a key for your car and need a duplicate of it made or do you not have any keys.

Whoops...sorry. I was typing while this was being clarified.

Just to close this thread, I was able to buy blanks from my BMW dealer in Dallas. I wanted the original OEM key with the black plastic that says BMW vs an all metal key. Santa Monica Lock and Key will make duplicates with a picture of the one good key I have. Not cheap, but100% OEM.

To close this thread again... BMD dealer had the wrong key. I'm going to get generic metal keys from Santa Monica lock and key.
