The main BMW dealers seem to be quite reasonable, just take your log book in and they can make one for you without an original as all the key patterns and immobilizer codes are stored on the BMW system.
I only paid about £30 for a new coded key for my E36.
A new key for a BMW can be obtained by contacting your local BMW dealer. They will contact the factory in Germany that will make you a new key for your BMW.

no, you have to have the key. The car is paired with one key, and one key alone. If you do not have the key, the car does not have the right code to start.
You could go a BMW dealership, but that typically costs a good deal of money. In a lot of cases, a locksmith will be able to make a new key less expensively.
BMW keys use what is called an EWS chip. These chips are built into every key, even spares and plastic wallet keys. They can only be obtained from BMW. Each car can only have 10 keys. If all 10 are lost, the entire ignition system must be replaced for a new chip set.

It sounds as if the ECW chip inside you key is bad. this is the chip that talks to your car and tells the vehicle that the key is the proper key. The cut of the key is right so it will unlock the tumblers, and let you turn the ignition switch, but the car needs that signal from chip to tell it to start. you will need to replace the key at the dealership. about ($120-$190). The keys on websites wont work they may be cut right but only BMW has the key with the proper signal to start the car.
