In Reply to: Keys: parts numbers posted by Michael P on May 23, 2001 at 17:11:10:


If your lame-o dealer tells you he can't order the keys because he doesn't have the parts numbers, tell him that you do. You will likely need proof of ownership and about $17 per key. There's absolutely no reason why a dealer can't do this:
(1) Keys are listed in Sections 32/16 and 32/17 of the Mobil Tradition and "Orange" parts catalogs.
(2) The key that opens everything is the "Generalschlussel" - #32 32 1 104 229.
(3) The key that operates the ignition and doors is the "Normalschussel". Otherwise known as a "valet key" #32 32 1 104 228.

Good Luck

I purchased a 1971 2800CS which only has the "valet" key. The trunk is locked. Both the local BMW dealer and locksmiths seem unable to help me. I need a way to:

1. Get into the trunk
2. Make a new key or instal a new lock/key

Any ideas? Please help... Thanks!!!
