Why BMW Owners Choose Us Over the Dealership
Losing a BMW key used to mean towing your car to the dealer and waiting up to two weeks for a replacement key to be shipped from Munich.
We offer a smarter, faster solution:
No Towing Required: We come to your car, whether it’s on your driveway or stuck in a supermarket car park.
Instant Replacement: We stock “Diamond” keys, “Slot” fobs, and modern “Keyless Go” proximity keys in our van.
Dealer-Level Coding: We use advanced tools (like Autohex and Ista-P) to safely interface with your car’s immobiliser.
We Solve Complex BMW Security Faults
Keys Locked in Boot: A classic problem on the 3 Series and 5 Series. We pick the lock to the “Open” position to trigger the central locking, allowing us to retrieve your keys without damage.
Deadlock Bypassing: When a BMW is locked with the remote, it enters “Safe Mode” (deadlocking). The inside handles become disabled. We use specialist Lishi picks to mechanically unlock the door from the outside.
CAS & FEM Programming: Whether your car uses the older CAS (Car Access System) or the newer FEM/BDC (Front Electronic Module), our technicians are trained to program keys safely without bricking the ECU.
Models We Cover Daily
1 Series: E87, F20, F40
3 Series: E46, E90, F30, G20
5 Series: E60, F10, G30
X Series: X1, X3, X5, X6

Emergency Vehicle Entry
Fast, non-destructive entry for keys locked in the boot or cabin. We use specialist Lishi picks to open your door exactly like a key—100% damage-free guaranteed.
Lost Key Replacement
Don’t tow your car to the dealer. We cut and program new keys at the roadside for Ford, BMW, Audi, VW, and more. We can also delete the old/stolen keys from your car’s memory to ensure your vehicle is secure.
Ignition Barrel Repair
Ignition jammed or key snapped inside? We repair or replace faulty ignition barrels on-site without needing a new ECU. Common fixes for Ford Transit, Volkswagen, and Honda models carried out while you wait.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My keys are locked in the boot of my 3 Series. Can you open it?
A: Yes. Do not try to pry the boot open. We can pick the driver’s door lock to wake up the central locking system or pick the boot lock cylinder directly to pop the lid without a scratch.
Q: Can you replace keys for newer "Keyless" BMWs?
A: Yes. We stock the “Proximity” smart keys used on F-Series and G-Series vehicles. We can program these to work exactly like the original, including the Comfort Access features.
Q: Do you need to remove the dashboard?
A: For most models (CAS3/CAS3+), we usually do everything via the OBD port. For some newer F-Series models (FEM system), we may need to briefly remove the module to unlock it on the bench, but this is done professionally and refitted perfectly.
Q: Is it safe for my warranty?
A: Yes. We use non-destructive entry methods and professional coding practices that mimic the dealer process. We do not cut wires or drill locks.
