There is an extended-life battery
in every master key that is
charged automatically in the steering
lock every time you drive.
For this reason, if you have a master
key that is not being used, use that key
approximately once every year while
driving for an extended period to
charge the battery. Also refer to
page

as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for continuous use

3 Door and ignition key
The lock for the glove compartment
cannot be operated with this key.
This is recommended for valet park-
ing, for instance.
There is a key case available for using
your master key on a regular basis.
Replacement keys
Replacement keys are available exclu-
sively through your BMW center. Your
BMW center is obligated to ensure that
a person requesting a key is authorized
to do so, since the keys belong to a
security system (refer to "Electronic
vehicle immobilizer" in the following
columns).
If possible, take all of the master
keys that belong to the vehicle
with you when you pick up your
replacement key.
Whenever you receive a new replace-
ment key, turn it once to position 2 in
the ignition lock (ignition switched on)
and then back, so that the electronic
vehicle immobilizer can "learn" the
new key.
