What this service does

On the newest BMWs (BDC2 / BDC3), programming a brand-new key normally needs online dealer (ISTA) access — slow and expensive. Cloning skips all of that: we read your existing working key and copy it exactly onto a new key. The clone carries the same identity, so your car accepts it as the original. No online programming, no dealer — you get a fully working spare key supplied by us.

IMPORTANT — check your key before ordering

BMW G-chassis keys are made in one of two factories, and it affects the job. Pop off the key cap (slide out the emergency blade and remove the cover) and look at the upper-right corner of the circuit board inside: it will be marked either “Hungary” or “Mexico”.

– “Hungary” — straightforward clone. MEXICO WILL NOT BE DONE

Cloning copies an existing key, so you need at least one working key to clone from. If you’ve lost all your keys, that’s a different module-level job — contact us first.

How it works

1. Buy this service and post us your working key.
2. We read it and clone it onto a new key.
3. We post back your original key plus the new cloned key.
4. Both work — keep the clone as your spare.

Vehicles this covers

BMW (and MINI) with BDC2 or BDC3 — the latest F-series and G-series, approx. 2016 on. Send your VIN to confirm.
