The following is an alphabetical list of automobiles made by BMW. The make, model and year are listed along with the type of key required for each one. Some model years may overlap and a manufacturer may use both systems in the same year. In cases where they overlap, we suggest you call the dealer or your local automotive locksmith with your VIN number to find out which system your particular vehicle uses.
Note: BMW keys are specialized and typically require dealer-level equipment to program. We recommend contacting an authorized BMW dealer or a locksmith who specializes in European vehicles for key replacement and programming.
