So I got a couple of new keys from Thebmwpartstore and it was less than $150 each, not bad, and they look good. But he tells me I need to program it like its been described in thousands of posts like this one, insert, turn to 1, out, hold unlock, press lock 3 times. But it doesnt work. The remote doesnt work after, and the doors dont even lock/unlock after the button sequence to show its programmed, am I missing something? I am sure all doors all close, all windows and sunroof are closed tight. I even tried turning to position 2, clutch not/pushed, brake not/pushed, holding down the unlock while turning to ignition 1/2, holding the key over my shoulder towards the rear antenna when pressing buttons, etc.... he sent me this video to follow, pretty much standard except this guy holds down the unlock while doing the ignition thing.

What can be wrong?
