About this vehicle

BMW ActiveE keys and immobiliser

The BMW ActiveE was produced 2012. It is a discontinued passenger car, which mainly affects blank and fob availability rather than whether the work can be done — older platforms are frequently easier to key than new ones, not harder.

A ActiveE from this range is likely to use a proximity smart key or a remote-head key with a transponder, depending on trim. All-keys-lost registration on vehicles of this generation is a security operation on most platforms and can involve a timed wait or the erasure of previously accepted keys.

A BMW ActiveE of this age is at the point where original keys start to show wear and remote batteries have often been replaced several times. If the key has become gradually harder to turn, that is the vehicle reporting cylinder wear rather than a sudden fault.

Eligibility for the BMW ActiveE is confirmed against the exact model year and trim before a job is treated as scheduled, and proof of identity and vehicle ownership or written authorisation is required before any key is originated or programmed.
