Key Fob F25 v LC1

Smithy2014 · 01-23-2017, 06:50 AM

Can a LC1 owner advise what the keyfob looks like please, my F25 fob only has 3 buttons (unlock, lock (bmw badge) and unlock boot). I have a case for my fob but not sure if the LC1 is different in size and whether or not I need to purchase a new fob case when the new car arrives

The key fob for for my 2016 X3 (US) has four buttons: unlock, lock (BMW roundel), unlock boot and panic button. It looks like the key fob in the video linked below:

thanks for the reply, looks like the boot unlock button is smaller on the new keyfob to make way for the panic button but at least the overall size is the same so my current fob case should be fine

My 2012 F25 fob is like this one ^

My 2011 looks the same as well except the panic button is a diamond button on mine that I can program to do various functions.

How much will a dealer charge me for a second fob, programming included of course?

We don't seem to get the panic button in the UK - both of our LCI's have had the 3 button remotes

I use an identical key fob with my 2014 X3 M sport

Every BMW I have purchased in the US in the last 15 years has come with two fobs. No extra cost for the second one.

My dealer wants $340 including blank key.
