If you need a trusted BMW auto locksmith in West London, you’re in the right place. Our mobile team provides BMW key replacement, BMW key programming, and non-destructive BMW vehicle unlocking across the W postcode area. We use dealer-level diagnostics to work with modern BMW immobiliser systems, getting you back on the road quickly and safely.
When You Need a BMW Auto Locksmith
BMWs use advanced immobiliser technology (EWS/CAS/BDC systems), so when something goes wrong with your key or vehicle locks, you need a specialist. Common situations we resolve across West London:
- Lost BMW keys or stolen BMW key fob
- Locked out of your BMW (keys in boot or cabin)
- BMW key not detected or car won’t start
- Key fob not responding after battery change
- Damaged or snapped BMW flip key or key blade
- Water-damaged or worn BMW remote
- Key stuck in ignition or steering lock issues on older models
- Central locking not working on one door
Whether it’s a BMW 1 Series daily driver in Ealing, a 3 Series in Kensington, a 5 Series in Hammersmith, an X5 in Notting Hill, or a BMW i3/iX electric model in Maida Vale, we can help on your driveway, roadside, or workplace.

FAQs
Can you make a BMW key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new BMW key without the original by decoding the lock and programming through OBD2 or by using EEPROM/bench methods for CAS/BDC modules, depending on the model and year.
Do you need my car at a dealership for BMW key programming?
No. Our mobile service uses dealer-level equipment to perform BMW car key programming at your location. This is often faster and more convenient than visiting a main dealer.
Will you damage my BMW when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a rare exception is needed, we’ll explain why and get your approval before any work.
How long does BMW key replacement take?
Many BMW keys can be cut and programmed the same day. Timings vary by model, immobiliser type (EWS/CAS/BDC), and whether all keys are lost. We’ll advise accurate timeframes when you call.
Can you delete a lost or stolen BMW key?
Yes. We can disable missing keys in the immobiliser so they no longer start the car, and provide a new programmed key for security.
Do you cover smart key and proximity key systems?
Absolutely. We supply and program smart/proximity keys for push-to-start BMW models and test start/stop and remote functions before handover.
