2000 BMW M3 Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Coast Village Road in Montecito is one of those spots where the cars parked along the street tell you everything about the neighborhood. I pulled up to a 2000 M3 that had been sitting for a few days after the owner's key stopped working. She had tried a new fob battery already and assumed the worst.
The key itself was intact, no cracks, no broken blade. The fob battery contacts had a faint green tint on them, barely visible, but enough. Cleaned the contacts, seated a fresh CR2032, and tested right there before I even got into the deeper work. Still no good. The key needed to be re-synced with the vehicle security system.
I connected to the OBD port, read the vehicle's security data, and walked through the registration sequence for the remote head key. These older E46 M3s have a different process than what you'd deal with on a newer BMW, and it moves faster once you know the system.
After that came the part I never skip. I walked the full length of the car testing range. Lock, unlock, both buttons, three clean starts. The car fired up each time without hesitation.
She had called the dealer before me. They quoted her a wait for parts and a labor rate that made her flinch. She paid a fraction of that, same morning, parked right in front of her building.

“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
“Needed a spare car key made and chose EZ Car Keyz based on their reviews. The reviews were right. They gave me the best price, responded quickly to all my questions, came to my workplace, cut the keys on site, and finished fast.”
