Hi All,
Sorry for the open ended question - I just don't want to exclude any options as I know you guys are the experts.
2010 E60 All Keys Lost.
I want to code a key for it, or at least be able to get it moving - without having to resort to a dealer/getting an auto locksmith out, i'd like to fix it myself.,
What is my best option, and most reasonably priced option?
I haven't bought any tools yet - this will be my first project.
Please let me know if there's anything vital I've not told you.
Thanks

I feel like i might have bitten off more than I can chew.. however If there is a way and I can afford it i'd like to try :)
I saw a Tango on obdsvs dot com for US$319 -
It says it covers "BMW CAS Keyless Go key maker, BMW CAS remote key maker, BMW CAS unlock and write locked with unknown password transponders PCF7943&PCF7944 key maker"
Would this be suitable? or lacking?
I have access to a KTM100 - would this be suitable for reading the DME?
Are there any rough guides online to try - I also have an E90 (with keys) would it be advisable to 'practice' on this?
thanks

A Tango for that price will not be an original. I would advise against using a copy. You have already been given the best solution which is to call a locksmith. If you want to get into making keys I would start with something easier as practice. Get some old immoboxs from wreckers and start from there.
