I run and surf a lot and like to tuck a normal key in my wetsuit or board shorts to get back in the car. I took the key to a locksmith who had to make a custom key which works but just barely. Apparently their equipment doesn't know the key code (what that means I don't know) and they don't even have blanks for this year. Took him almost an hour to get it to work at all with a lot of cutting and grinding.

Is there any way to get just a normal non-fob non-integrated key for these cars though BMW? Just for the door to get in? Or some other option?
