BMW key replacement in Portsmouth
BMW keys are more involved than most, but we handle them on site – from older 1 Series to newer X models with Comfort Access.
How much does a replacement BMW key cost in Portsmouth?
A BMW spare key usually costs £150–£290 when you still have a working key, and replacing a lost BMW key typically costs £200–£450 when every key is gone. The price depends on the key type and immobiliser system. We cut and program BMW keys at your car across Portsmouth & the PO postcode area and confirm a fixed price from your registration first.
