You will be able to get in the car via BMW Assist but the car will not start without a fob.My girlfriend picked up my trousers that weren't in the laundry basket and washed them without telling me first and without checking the pockets properly, and my key was in them. If that one fob is lost you just will not get the car started. The problem with one fob is not just an inconvenience if there is only one driver. Nevertheless, it took Morristown BMW almost two weeks to get the new fob to me after I drove the car off their lot and that was only after I called and raised hell with them. It takes only two days for the parts department to get a new fob (as I just found out when I bought a third fob for another family member). The dealership knew the fob was missing because it was noted on the CPO checklist dated four weeks prior to the time I took delivery but they did nothing. The problem I had was just terrible customer service and a terrible salesman that instantly lost all interest in me the instant I drove the car away. They did immediately tell me they owed me a second key on the day I took delivery. I purchased my 2011 CPO from BMW of Morristown, NJ. I am sure the number of fobs you get with just a plain uncertified used car is whatever you negotiate with the seller. If the "used" car is a CPO, the CPO checklist requires two fobs and the selling dealer is obligated to provide two fobs. ed or not, don't all cars come with 2 fobs? So doesn't the dealer (where you picked up the car in the first place) actually owe you a 2nd fob? Does anyone know the proceed noted above to program the key fob? I kind of don't want to bring this fob to my local dealer as I know 1000% they're going to bill me an hour labour for simple programming. If you are still having trouble you will have to go to your local dealer, hopefully there will not be a labor charge but I can’t be certain since you bought the car from us and not them. "Normally holding the key next to the steering column for over 45 seconds to a minute will register it but I have seen several times where the key needs to be programmed by a dealer especially with the comfort access option. It appears that it's either not coded to my X3 or not coded at all? I reached out to the dealer and here's their response: The new key came a few days ago but it doesn't work. The car only came with one key and when I complained to the dealer, they ordered me a second fob brand new and shipped it over to me (I live about 450 miles from the dealer I bought this X3 from). I recently picked up my slightly used 2014 X3 28i M-Sport.
