I believe this process works on CA keys as well as long as you're ok with the CA portion not working, otherwise the programming process is more involved.
I have to admit that the simplicity of this system unsettles me a little bit. It means that more sophisticated car thieves could go around with blank BMW fobs, smash a window, and create a legitimate key for that stolen car on the spot....

ok so then I can just buy a blank key, program it to your car, and steal your car? Think about what you're saying, man.
You cant just buy a blank key and program it to any car. That thought is insane.
