The 2016–2022 X1 uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the BMW X1 key guide.

2022 BMW X1: key facts

Key type: Smart / proximity key
Push-to-start: Yes
Transponder chip: Varies by trim — we confirm by VIN
Programming: OBD
All keys lost: We can originate new keys on site

BDC car: Abrites documents add-a-key and all-keys-lost by OBD for the F48 (newer BDC firmware versions need the newer license; other tools bench-preprocess the BDC module). Advanced specialist work, not dealer-only. Chip family stated from the common F-series ID49 key; not confirmed against an F48-specific listing this session.

Same key system as the 2016–2022 X1

BMW kept the X1's key system unchanged across 2016–2022, so everything about replacing a 2022 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 X1 key guide.

What drives the price is the key type, whether you still have a working key, and where the car is parked. There's more on BMW programming in general on our BMW key page.
