Lost BMW keys, spare keys and key fobs, cut and programmed at your car. No tow, no waiting on the dealer, and a price before we come out.
A BMW dealer orders each key from BMW, cut and coded to your VIN, and you need to show ID and registration and wait for it to arrive. We make BMW keys at the car for the EWS, CAS and FEM/BDC systems that cover most BMWs on the road.
Einstein Locksmith is a mobile locksmith based in Boca Raton. We come to wherever your BMW is parked, cut the key, program it to the car, and you drive away. Call or text (561) 561-5397 with the year and model and you get a price before we come out.
Which key your BMW uses decides how it is made. Years are approximate and vary by model.
| Years | Key type | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| About 1995 to 2005 | EWS key | A chip key or diamond-shaped remote key matched to the car’s EWS immobilizer. |
| About 2002 to 2014 | CAS key | The slot-in fob and the comfort-access fob. The key is matched to the CAS module. |
| About 2012 to 2019 | FEM and BDC key | The smart key on F-series cars, matched to the body computer. |
| Recent G-series | Latest smart key | The newest systems are more locked down. Tell us the year and model when you call or text. If yours is one we cannot do, we will say so on the phone, before anyone drives anywhere. |

It depends on the model, the year and the type of key, so we quote before we come out, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay. For comparison, a typical dealer charges about $185 for programming alone, before the key. Our price is typically well below the dealer’s.
Yes in most cases. That is an all-keys-lost job: we make the new key from the car itself, at the car.

No. We are a mobile locksmith, so there is no shop to tow to. We come to the car within about 30 miles of Boca Raton, across Palm Beach and Broward County.
