If you lost your keys and the chances of you finding them are slim, you will have to go to a BMW dealer and order a new set. I think a new key is gonna cost you around $60-$80.

Vin, proof of registration, and driver license. Also I don't know if this concerns you but the registered owner has to go and purchase they key. By this I mean that if the car is registered under another name, e.g. your dad, than your dad has to go get. I only say this because of experience, my Ti was registered under my dads name.:biggrin:

Dude we are trying to get the old crew back together, plus I'm looking for a new Ti. But if you show up in Denver hit me up, we got alot of future drives/meets in the works.

yeah, a new key would be your only option at this point. they are a bit spendy at about $100.00 each...but i'd recommend buying two so this isn't a future problem.
also, come to Denver and join our little set...good times!

DU I heard its a really good school. Some of my professors did their grad work at DU. I go to CU Denver a lot cheaper than DU ha! What are you majoring in?

oh nice i was gonna go there too but i dont think they have anything in the engineering field, also i thought the private schools may give more money to out of state students.

I dont know about that and yeah cu denver isnt known for engineering. Have you thought about the school of mines in golden? I have a couple of friends that go there. One already graduated with a petroleum engineering degree. He is currently in dallas banking in the money. Ha!

haha yea i looked at that school, its like 80% guys have to pass on that one haha. But yea I was going to go to boulder but it was wayyyyyy to expensive

Yup boulder is expensive, plus i have heard from other students that cu denvet is better when it comes to class size and quality of classes. The only bad thing is that its a commuter school so you dont really get the real college experience.

I got two friends going there, they like it and the only complaint has been the price of parking and books. But that is the same at any University. It is crazy how much the college books are going for.
