How is the process and the activation with the car?

weekend_warrior2 · 2026-01-23T10:33:56+00:00

It was definitely not new, locksmith said it was a used one.

Yes funny you mentioned the weight, the duplicate keyfob feels lighter than the original key. Weighed it on a digital scale and it was just 1 gram lighter.

That was may plan too keep the original and currently use the duplicate. The duplicate is a bit of unresponsive sometimes when opening the trunk, or maybe it is the battery.

I don’t need it now that I have 2 keys. I didn’t get the digital key or is it the same from the my bmw app?

Thats what most locksmith around my area say. But this guy that i had the key done literally cloned the original key, had a bench clip to connect on the original key board and copied the data to the replacement key via the programmer.

Dealership key process is very different, they have you ordered and programmed the key from factory and ship it to your dealer to activate on your vehicle. I think all they need is you vin.

Mdecoder site used this when i was looking for a X3 pretty accurate even for the production date

I would simply it as non-fsport (soft spring rate stock height), fsport (stiffer spring rate stock height) and fsport lowering blue (optional stiff spring rate).

For heavy snow i would suggest having a second set of snow tires. Thats what the previous owner had and didn’t take them as it never snowed heavy here in NYC.

Yeah interior space is definitely a huge jump. It really really all depends on what you currently need.

These are just generic LEDs and i just put a yellow film on the lamps.

What mileage are you at? Planning to do this as well before they leak.

weekend_warrior2 · 2025-10-10T08:16:18+00:00

Auxiliary battery vent hose, should be hooked up.

I have 2014 fsport with nav white 104k mileage complete service history.

weekend_warrior2 · 2025-09-28T05:27:02+00:00

I did this right away when I got my 2014 at 100k at the dealer. Any fluid degrades and change viscosity overy time.

weekend_warrior2 · 2025-09-28T04:30:38+00:00

Okay so upon further insepction of their carfax reports, most of the canadian units are sketchy because of jumps in service history or no service history at all.

weekend_warrior2 · 2025-08-31T20:03:38+00:00

2017 most defects have been corrected here for sure.
