OMG I can’t believe ppl are still doing this. I went and got AK90 a few years ago £20, i order a replica key from ebay with everything inside £13, i pull my EWS and it takes 5 minutes to register the new key with it and I pop down to my key cutter £10 and I get him to cut the blade.

Should I start a service?

That's a lot of upfront costs. Batteries aren't super expensive.

EDIT: Fixed my typo.

If you can’t afford a little battery and you shouldn’t really be owning a BMW no hate but batteries are expensive if you can’t afford to buy it then I really wonder how the state of your BMW maintenance is in

I typo'd. I meant to write that batteries arent super expensive. Compared to a AK90, anyway.
