Phil:

Thanks for that - hadn't considered that he may have a newer style key. Ran off with the concept that he had sourced an original.

As always - YMMV

Rgds,

        However since Jeff just bought his key he probably has the newer
type which
        requires pressing in on the BMW logo and sliding the entire
flashlight
        module out the left (as you are looking at the logo) side of the
key head.
        Then split the casing taking care not to break the flimsy tabs
which hold
        those two halves together and the rest will be obvious.  Most
likely the
        bulb will die before the battery.  Don't drop the key.

        Again, all this talk about keys originally was about the
center-guide or
        "laser cut" keys (E32-on) which are only properly duped by BMW
from your
        code.  Locally available for emergency use only, is my opinion.
