New Key programming

Just bought a spare key for my car from BMW and it is not programmed to the car.
How do you do this?

Need to be more specific. Do you mean the remote doesn't work or do you mean it doesn't start the car?

If the former then that's easy to resolve, just a sequence of buttons to push on the key remote to initialise it with the remote locking.

If it's the latter then send the key back as they should come pre programmed to work with the car's EWS straight away.

All your keys get reprogrammed at the
same time. Here is how it is done
1. Open the car doors using the remote function of your working key.
2. Get in and close (don't lock) all the doors.
3. Put the key in the ignition and switch momentarily to position 1 which is
the first position when you turn the key clockwise. This is the accessory
position. Don't stay in position 1 longer than 5 seconds; then turn the key
back to the off position.
4. Remove the key.
5. On the key transmitter, press and hold the unlock button. Press and release the lock button three times within 10 seconds while still pressing the unlock button.
6. release the unlock button.
7. The system indicates re-programming by locking and immediately unlocking
the door locks.
8. If you want to do more remotes, you must do each within 30 seconds of
step 7 for the preceding key. You just need to repeat steps 5 through 7 for
each key after the first."

PS If while you are fookin about with the above, the real owner wakes up and appears at the door, start engine, S6 , DSC off and give it the beans !!!!
