Can I Replace Transponder Key/ignition W/ Regular Ignition?
1 Comment | Posted by admin in Transponder
I’m considering purchasing a salvage 2007 BMW 325i. The car would NOT come keys. So as I understand it, I can POSSIBLY get BMW to create a new set of transponder keys with the VIN information (with considerable hassle and expense).
Can I just get the ignition (?)/starter(?)/keys(?) with a regular old-style, non-computerchipped components?
Which method would be cheaper/easier?

The computer in the car will be wired in with the ignition system, so it would be ALOT easier to get the keys made by BMW. Otherwise, as i see it, you would have to rewire the starter, parts of the computer, and the ignition. Even then, you might not get the car to start, you might have to get into the computer and re-program it/purchase a new one that does not have transponder key compatibility, you should talk to your BMW dealer to see what you can do/what they can do, and for what price
