Can't register key
Just picked up new to me X3 M40i and sales genius helped set up myBMW. However, whe. He tried to set up my key, we got error message to say key is already registered.
We tried several time to unregister both keys and try again but no luck. My wife’s key was able to get registered. Any suggestions? Rick |

You should be able to register two keys. If the fob in question will not start the vehicle (registered in I drive or not), it sounds like the individual who traded in your X3 pulled a fast one on the dealer and gave them a bogus fob not licensed with the vehicle. There is one other possibility. It could be a replacement fob that is licensed to the vehicle but hasn't gone through the initialization process. This is a simple process that you can do yourself, but I don't remember the details. This might help:

One key per profile is fine but can’t link my key to my profile. Error message that key is already registered to a profile but when I attempt to unregister, it still doesn’t work

I remember to register the key to profile, the profile had to be linked to like a mybmw app in my case with a 2020. So my wife had to install and make an account. I wonder if that other key is somehow linked to previous owner's mybmw account or something in one way or another.
