Can a locksmith make a key for a BMW?
In most cases, yes. Alarm Command originates, cuts and programs eligible BMW keys, fobs and smart keys as a mobile service, including all-keys-lost situations. Eligibility depends on the exact model and year. Proof of ownership is required. Call or text (703) 855-4041 with the year and model to confirm.
About this make
BMW key coverage
Alarm Command publishes 146 BMW model pages, covering vehicles built from 1981 to 2027. 36 of those are current models; the rest are discontinued nameplates that still turn up needing keys.
The BMW range covered here breaks down as 102 passenger cars and 44 SUV or multi-purpose models. Key systems generally track the model year rather than the body style, so a BMW SUV and a BMW saloon of the same year usually share a key platform.
A 46-year span means this make covers both ends of the key timeline: the 318i dates from 1981, before transponder immobilisers reached the US market, while the 228 runs to 2027. Those are entirely different jobs, so the model year is the first thing worth having ready.
Not every BMW model year is serviceable at the roadside. Eligibility is confirmed against the exact vehicle before a job is treated as scheduled, and proof of ownership is required before any key is originated or programmed.

Frequently asked questions
Automotive Locksmith FAQ
How many BMW models does Alarm Command cover?
There are 146 BMW model pages on this site, spanning vehicles built between 1981 and 2027. 36 of those are current models.
Can you make a key for a discontinued BMW?
Age is rarely the obstacle. Older BMW vehicles are often simpler to key than current ones, because they predate the security procedures modern immobilisers use. The constraint on an older vehicle is usually blank or fob availability, which is checked against the specific model year.
Does the BMW model year change what is possible?
Yes, more than the model name does. Between 1981 and 2027 the market moved from mechanical keys to transponder immobilisers to proximity fobs, and BMW vehicles moved with it. The model year is the first thing worth having ready.
Do I need to bring the BMW anywhere?
No. Service is mobile — the technician travels to the vehicle, which matters because a vehicle that cannot be entered or started cannot be driven to a shop.
Do you service parking garages, airports, dealerships, repair shops and commercial locations?
For eligible jobs, mobile service can be coordinated at many accessible locations when the owner or authorized party can approve service and site rules allow access.
