As for the 330i, don't know but agree that it is likely dealer nonsense. Was the car CA equipped?

I think you're spot on here, save them from having to design two different parts...
No that was a 2001 car, back when laser cut keys were cool.

And that is a good point about the whole point of CA. I thought it was strange as well, but figured its better than having to get a new battery. Yet, it turns out thats what has to happen!
