Ryan,

Many years ago I had a similar experience in San Diego.  I got the blank at
the dealer (back when we had a dealership); but the parts guy said that I
would need a lock and key shop that had the specific equipment to make the
key.  Evidently the BMW's of the time had the same type of key and only some
locksmiths invested in equipment to make these types of keys.  He drilled
the pattern into the blank.  It looked different, but worked fine.

I finally found the key blanks to fit the door and trunk (the long high
security key) and am now currently in agony trying to find someone to cut
them.  No dice on Spruell, Algar, IAP...as well as every local shop I can
find within 50 miles...and Tony Demora promptly informed me that the last
one
he cut was in 1979....sooooooo...any and all help, suggestion, etc would be
more than welcome....anything that is, other than telling me to buy new
handles ;)
TIA
