If I'm not mistaken it should come with 3 keys ( 2 Remote Keys & 1 thin plastic Key to keep in your wallet). Nontheless, since my beast was bought second hand I only got 2 keys.

I'm not sure what you mean "where do I find them", they all should obviously come with the car unless you have it leased. If this is the case, they normally would have the spare Key.

Yea three keys, two main & the wallet key which slots into the plastic key stored in your glovebox.

If I didnt know where my 2nd / spare key was I would be pretty concerned.

What he said.

Say if you lost you original key, you can call BMW assist to unlock your doors. However, if you dont have your spare wallet size key, your Sh it out of Luck because your spare key in the glove box doesnt have the chip to start the car. You need the spare key and the remote in the glove box to merge together to start the car.

Does this mean you don't have the remote keys?

Each new M5 comes with two remote key fobs (whether or not comfort access) each has a metal key integrated into it which can be removed by pinching the finger skids on the end of the fob. You also get one thin black plastic key (called a wallet key) which looks like a traditional key, not a remote fob. The wallet key can unlock the doors but obviously cannot start the kar as there is not traditional key hole. Therefore, you also get an addition plastic "sleeve" that is the same size and shepe as the 2 remote fobs. The plastic key can be inserted into this sleeve and used to start the car (but it must be insereted in the dash even if you have comfort access).

As far as what anybody got when they purchased a used M5 . . . . I have no idea.
