When You Need A BMW Auto Locksmith

- Lost or stolen BMW keys, with no spare available
- Locked keys in your BMW boot or cabin
- BMW key fob not responding or intermittent range
- Key won’t turn in ignition, or car shows a key symbol on the dash
- BMW Comfort Access (smart/proximity) key not detected
- Broken or snapped BMW key blade
- Dead key battery or worn-out remote shell
- Central locking problems or driver door won’t open
- ECU/immobiliser syncing issues after battery or module work
If any of these sound familiar, our mobile BMW locksmith service brings the right tools and expertise to your location for a fast, reliable fix.
How We Solve BMW Key And Lock Issues
We combine specialist training with BMW-capable tools to deliver main-dealer quality at your kerbside. Here’s how our process works:
-
Assessment and secure ID checks
We confirm ownership and assess your BMW’s system (CAS, FEM/BDC, EWS on older models) to determine the safest, most efficient route. -
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
If you’re locked out, we use professional lock-picking and air-wedge techniques designed for BMW door geometry. We always aim for non-destructive methods; in rare cases where drilling or component removal is the only safe option, we explain the risks and get your approval first. -
BMW key cutting and programming
- Cutting: We produce precision laser cut car keys and HU92/HU100 profiles on-site.
- Programming: Using BMW-compatible OBD2 diagnostics and advanced tools, we perform BMW car key programming for transponder and smart keys.
- Advanced methods: For certain models (e.g., FEM/BDC systems), we can carry out EEPROM key programming and ECU/immobiliser programming to sync new keys securely.
-
Smart key and Comfort Access solutions
We supply and program proximity keys for push-to-start BMWs, ensuring keyless entry and engine start operate as intended. -
Repairs and replacements
- Key fob repair: Switch, case, and battery service.
- Key blade replacement: For worn or bent blades.
- Ignition and lock repairs: Steering/ignition lock issues diagnosed and repaired with minimal disruption.
- Final testing and handover
We test remote locking, starting, and immobiliser pairing before handover. You’ll receive guidance on caring for your new key and options for a spare.

Helpful BMW Security Tips
- Keep a spare: A second BMW key is quicker and more affordable to programme than replacing all keys after a loss.
- Battery care: Weak vehicle or key fob batteries can trigger “key not detected” messages—replace promptly.
- After bodyshop/electrical work: If modules were replaced or coded, key pairing may need re-synchronising—call us if the key symbol appears.
- Report thefts: If keys are stolen, we can deauthorise lost keys and programme replacements to protect your BMW.

FAQs
Can you make a new BMW key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new BMW key from your vehicle using dealer-level diagnostics. For certain systems (FEM/BDC), we may carry out EEPROM programming to securely add keys. Proof of ownership is required.
Can you programme a BMW Comfort Access smart key?
Absolutely. We supply and programme BMW smart/proximity keys, ensuring keyless entry and push-to-start work properly. We also handle re-synchronisation if your BMW won’t detect the key.
My BMW shows a key symbol and won’t start—can you help?
Yes. This often points to immobiliser or key recognition issues. We’ll diagnose via OBD2, check CAS/FEM/BDC status, and programme or repair as needed to restore starting.
Will you damage my BMW when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare situations where a component must be drilled or removed, we explain the reason, agree it with you first, and proceed carefully to minimise impact.
How long does BMW key replacement take?
Many BMW keys can be cut and programmed the same day at your location. Times vary by model and immobiliser system; we’ll advise an estimated timeframe when you call.
Do you cover all UB areas for BMW locksmith services?
Yes. Our mobile units cover Uxbridge and all UB postcodes, including Hayes, Hillingdon, West Drayton, Southall, Greenford, Northolt, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
