Locksmith services for BMW keys, locks and ignitions.
Faster & cheaper than BMW dealerships.
We've been cutting and programming BMW keys across Dorset, Hampshire & Salisbury for years. From 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5 and the M-series — and even classic models like the BMW E36.
Auto Locksmith Specialists works across the full BMW range — from older 3 Series, 5 Series and X5 models through to current M-series, iX and the 7 Series with its display key. Whether your BMW uses a traditional blade key, a comfort access fob, or the newer digital key system, we cut and programme replacements on-site using professional diagnostic platforms, without towing the vehicle to a BMW dealership.
BMW uses some of the most advanced key security in the industry. Comfort Access systems, CAS (Car Access System) modules, and EWS immobiliser generations all require precise programming — not just key cutting. On newer models, programming a replacement key also involves coding the CAS or FEM module to accept the new key, which requires the right equipment and experience. We carry both.
Locked out of your BMW? We use non-destructive entry methods designed for BMW's multi-point locking systems, getting you back in without damaging the door frame, the window seal or the interior trim. If your BMW's ignition barrel is worn or seized — common on higher-mileage 3 Series and 5 Series — we can rebuild or replace it and recode it to your existing key where possible, saving the cost of a steering column replacement.
Comfort Access fob faults — where the car fails to detect the key or the push-button start stops responding — are a regular BMW call-out. Causes include battery depletion, water ingress or programming corruption after a battery change. We diagnose and resolve these on-site in most cases. All-keys-lost situations are also handled: we generate and programme a new key entirely from scratch using the vehicle's VIN and module data, without needing an existing working key. We cover all BMW models across Dorset, Hampshire and Salisbury, 24 hours a day.

I was down in Bournemouth for the weekend when I lost my keys. I called up Auto Locksmith Specialists, they sent out a guy called Matt who helped me get back in my car. Matt was a lovely lad, and I was very impressed he managed to get me into my car without my keys! They also cut me a key! 10/10 would recommend👍🏼
