On newer BMWs without the Keyfob slot, you need to program your new key by holding it against the marked spot on the right side of the steering column (key mark) and then start the car. IF YOU CAN NOT GET THE NEW KEY CODED RIGHT AWAY, take the old key out of the car and move it far away from the car. Hold the new key to the same spot until the car recognizes the new inactive coded key. Once recognized then have someone bring the old key to the car and start it.
