I got a key, with a chip, cut for my 2011 GS by a car key guy.
I’m sure an 1150 could be done by Timpsons etc but I’d go the car key specialist route.
Good luck whichever
 
BMW should be able to supply a factory one for around £27.
 
Buy a blank off eBay first fiver👍

I had the same with my 1150, bought a couple of cheap blanks off eBay and took to Timpsons on the high street and they cut them no problem. Think it was about £12 for two keys cut.

Couple of years ago for my 1150 bought e bay blanks for about £3 each and were cut by a local place for about the same price each

Like so many other things... At the back of a drawer somewhere only to be found when you move etc...😉
 
Buy a blank to take in as they usually don't have a pattern on the stock...
 
Take the lock apart, remove all the lock plates, and then you don't need to get the key cut! :)
 
I had a genuine BMW blank from my R1150RT, at least ten years ago.
The recent GS project only had one key

I took it to two local key cutters who said they couldn’t copy the key as it wouldn’t fit in the cutting machine?

I had to find a specialist auto key specialist who cut it without issue, but charged £10.
I was too weary to argue 😡
 
related this this, many years ago, as a daily key, I used one of the two that had a rubber top on it.
This rubber eventually split and the keyring came out away from the key.
I had all three keys and another didint have the rubber around it, it was a T shape with a hole in the top.
I use that one now and for many years.
About all I have to add to this thread!
