Purchasing and coding a new key for the BMW 3 Series at a dealership can be expensive.

Fortunately, the process is not difficult and only takes a few minutes. Simply insert the key, turn on the ignition, turn it off, remove the key, press the central locking button three times, and finally, hold down the unlock button.
