DO NOT BUY THOSE KEYS FROM THAT EBAY SELLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It won't work in our cars. I bought one from him, and found out the hard way. He will not take it back if it wasn't the right key for your car.

...which is a flip key for E36's...Anybody have any experiences on this? I kinda like the flip key for a second key. Also, would ANY key duplicating shop be able to copy, or do I need to go to a dealership? I've seen on the net from other people that dealerships won't 'touch' aftermarket keys...is this true for our cars?

Any feedback would be appreciated if you've had experience on this subject...Thanks again...motorwerk
