You can take your VIN and proof of ownership to a BMW dealer. They can order you a Key. Normally you can get a replacement key overnight but the new years holiday may add a day or two.



Expect to pay about $150 for the replacement. e46 keys have an immobilizer transponder in them. Makes for one expensive key.



You could try calling a locksmith and see if that will cost less. Downside is you will still only have one key.



EDIT:



I had another idea. If you are comfortable working on your car:



e46 sedans have an optional ski bag that can be added at the dealer. If your car doesn't have the ski bag, it will still have the spot where the bag would be added.



Remove the back seat. Pull out the Headrests first The bottom pulls out. Then you can unbolt the top half.



Punch out the ski bag hole.



Retrieve your keys.



I've included a link to instructions on how to install the ski bag. The first part of the instructions cover how to open up the hole to the trunk.
