If you find a way around this that's cheaper please perform a major public service and share the info. I have owned 3 of the current model's of Mini Cooper's. What an excellent car for shooting around town and being a blast to drive until the key FOB was lost....the second one. I thought I was gonna have a stroke...they had me trapped...I had no damned choice...it was a little north of $250.00...so I paid it...and they lost a sale because I know that's taking advantage of people. We took delivery to our door of a small Ford Van...I didn't ask for delivery of our new Van they offered because they want to stand out in the auto industry in our area. WOW. Truth be told I'm sorta ashamed of buying the Mini in the first place because of it not being made in AMERICA. No more foreign cars for me we'll walk first. My son said you may luck out in a junkyard if the key can be reprogrammed to your Van. Good Luck with this mission.
