In Reply to: 2 Stupid Questions: Where to get a key & CD plyr? posted by CLGersh on March 12, 2000 at 12:10:45:
Hang on to your wallet. If I remember correctly, only a dealer can provide a key and they are over US$100. If you are purchasing the car from a dealer, ask them to provide keys as part of the sale price. There should be two main keys, a valet key and a "wallet" key.
BTW, has the engine had a leak down check or has the block been replaced? Perhaps a dumb question, but are you aware of the problems with BMW V8 engine blocks of that vintage. if not check the archives and look for information on 530's There is a comprehensive site that covers all you need to know.

: It's Sunday so I cannot call the dealer, but figured I'd pose the question here:
: I am buying a 95 540i. I take delivery tomorrow (Monday) I am very excited, but already know that it requires two things to make it perfect.
: 1) It currently does not have a CD player at all. According to one of the sites I was checking, all 540s are prewired for a changer. Is this true? Which changers should/can I buy? I really don't need anything too fancy, it's just that I haven't purchased a cassette tape since 93! Any advice is appreciated. My main goal is to get an economical player that will install seamlessly (i.e. No remotes, etc)
: 2) Ok, this is really lame, but the car is perfect, no dings, scratches, etc...but the key is gross. It looks like the previous owner kept it in his pocket with mashed bananas and rocks! The feature buttons on the key work, but I'd like a new, clean key for my "new" car. Am I correct in assuming that my local BMW dealer can order me a new key? Am I going to be floored with the cost?
: Anyway, I look forward to participating in this forum.
