This is the usual key for each set of years. Trim level and options change it, so treat it as a guide and tell us what yours looks like.
| Years | Usual key |
|---|---|
| 2004 to 2011 | Fob that slots into the dash, with a start button or keyless fob that stays in your pocket, with a start button |
| 2011 to 2019 | Keyless fob that stays in your pocket, with a start button |
| 2019 on | Keyless fob that stays in your pocket, with a start button |
Keyless versions of the 1 Series use a smart fob that has to be the right part for the car before it can be programmed. A lost fob can be deleted so it no longer opens or starts the car.
On the years with a fob that slots into the dash, the fob holds the chip the car checks before it will start. A spare is programmed through the car and both fobs are tested.

BMW 1 Series keys: common questions
Can you make a BMW 1 Series key if I have lost every key?
Yes, for most years from 2004 on. The locksmith gets into the car without damage, cuts a new key and programs it where the car is parked. Tell us the year and we will confirm before you book.
How much is a spare BMW 1 Series key?
It depends on the year and which key your car has. Fill in the form and you get a price for your exact car before any work starts.
Which key does my 1 Series have?
Use the table on this page as a guide, or send us a photo of your key on WhatsApp. Trim level makes a difference, so two cars from the same year can have different keys.
Do I need to take my 1 Series to a BMW dealer?
Not usually. The key can be supplied and programmed at your home or work. If your year turns out to be main dealer only, we tell you straight away.
