BMW smart/touchscreen key
I sold my Alpina and still have the “smart key”. Tesla did not want it when I traded in the B7.
Can it be reprogrammed and is it worth reselling? |

As far as I know, the key has the VIN embedded and cannot be reprogrammed for another car.

I can not believe that the Tesla dealership did not want the key. That makes no sense.

By the way, what a silly move my Tesla! What did they not take it! Man I hate how many of these vehicles on the market WITHOUT the display key even though it is on the build sheet. I always blame former owners for being greedy and keeping it, but I guess it is the dealers. Maybe because it can not be hanged or so!!! |

The 750Li I just bought was also missing the display key fob. When I checked into getting one I learned they cost $899 for a replacement. My question is, is it worth it? What can I do with the display key fob that I cannot do with the standard key fob?
Thanks, Steve |

And here i am, i traded my 2018 Tesla model S for a BMW 750 Li...you will be back. The Tesla is cool but the novelty wears off after a while when you realize how much you miss the luxuries that come with a BMW and how nice they are to drive. Unless you drive enough to make the gas savings significant, I really missed the throaty roar of a big V-8. That being said, the Tesla is a lot of fun for a while.
