you can either use the dei 555b, or go to a bmw dealer and purchase a "EWS steering wheel lock antenna ring" part # 61-35-8-364-709. i've had good success with the bmw piece as well as the 555b. they both cost around the same. the universal transponder bypass modules just plain won't work. i recommend the dei 555b because it comes with instructions....the bmw piece doesn't.

good luck!

Universal piece = 18 windings around the key 555B=60 turns around the key.
