How to Program a new Key Fob to 2017 M240i?
#1
I have a pre-LCI 2017 M240i and it only came with one key fob, I'm guessing the previous owner kept the 2nd one.  I ordered the same keyfob from aliexpress and made sure the numbers matched.  How do I program this to my car?  I've read that the dealer has to program it and then I'll have to sync it with my car and I've also read I can do it myself, but as of yet have not had any luck.  Can someone give me a definitive answer?

Hi.

Probably you don't have equipment to do this by yourself; find good locksmith around you and let him make a job.
2017 M240i is still F series, so FEM/BDC on board. To add extra key fob you need to:
- remove FEM/BDC,
- read and unlock eeprom on bench
- make new dealer key on bench (or later via obd after fem unlocking)
- put FEM/BDC back to car and test new key.

For BDC2 -> only dealer can make new key, there is no tool yet (same like MB FBS4 key fob)

Tools which you can buy to do this by yourself (some of them are quite expensive)
- Autel IM608
- Xhorse Key Tool Pad
- VVDI BMWTool
- ACDP
- Autohex
and few others.

If you still have question, feel free to ask.

Regards
Wojtek
