I got my key from ebay, hopefully a decent one.

I then paired it to open the doors with buttons,

then went and got it cut, at a small local locksmith £25

then i tried to open the door worked fine,
but no ignition obviously not paired.

I then followed the guide i linked above, and put my original in ignition turned it to position 1 i think and then put new key and it turned over now a working spare.

I was warned not to play with pairing my own keys as i could lock my car out somehow but i followed above and worked for me.

good guide, but scary part is pairing it to start engine when i tried to turn it was a bit stiffer but after it sync with alarm its fine now as a spare key.

had to follow guide exactly.

dont try if your worried about getting car locked out, your need bmw to sort that i heard.
