2011 750il "Emergency" key?
Hey guys,
My father picked up his '11 750il yesterday, traded in his '09 750il. On the 09, he had a metal emergency key (not the pull out key in the fob), but the '11 did not come with one. Was he suppose to get one? Looked inside the car but its not in any of the compartments or inside the bmw owners manual case. My 09 528ix has a black plastic emergency key. Thanks! |

I think this has been discussed here before. Do a search...
I think from model year '10 on the 7 series no longer has that 3rd key (the one you are referring to as the emergency key). Mine came with that spare key too and I have never used it (other than to do a test which erased almost all of my settings in the car!). If you look in the '09 owner's manual (page 30) you will find that the spare key is mentioned and depicted in the 'scope of delivery' picture but that's not the case in the '10 and '11 manuals (page 32). So you no longer get a spare key with the '10 and on models...

Add that to the list of previously available items that are no longer provided with the latest release (a spare tire and jack are two other notables). But, you do now get comfort access standard, so it's a trade-off in my opinion.
