The 2023–2026 7 Series uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the BMW 7 Series key guide.

2024 BMW 7 Series: key facts

Key type: Smart / proximity key
Push-to-start: Yes
Transponder chip: Varies by trim — we confirm by VIN
Programming: Dealer-only (we'll tell you before you spend anything)
All keys lost: Requires dealer involvement

G70 generation (incl. i7): newest BDC architecture with standard Digital Key Plus. No established aftermarket add-key or all-keys-lost path was found for this generation — dealer-only, stated plainly.

Same key system as the 2023–2026 7 Series

BMW kept the 7 Series's key system unchanged across 2023–2026, so everything about replacing a 2024 key — blanks, programming, and what happens if every key is lost — matches the rest of that run. The full year-by-year breakdown lives in our BMW 7 Series key guide.

For this generation, added or replacement keys go through the dealer — we say that up front rather than charge you to find out. Call (213) 577-1366 and we'll tell you honestly whether a mobile locksmith or the dealer is the right move for your situation.
