you won't even be able to open the door with a duplicated key. they also don't even look like keys so you'll probably need some custom equipment to even try to duplicate it - which makes no sense since they won't open or start anything anyway.
actually on my car you can't even open the doors manually from the inside if you locked the car with your key. i found that out the hard way

^^+1 re: depending on make & model.. my cousin tried to have his key duplicated at a local hardware store (home depot) and later found out that they won't be able to copy it because it has chip..
Most Euro & Jap cars have the Laser etched key so it's nearly impossible to duplicate it.. You'll have to order it from the dealer if ever you lose it which costs a lot. Or they have the Remote/Key+key like the ones used on the Benzes which you have a remote but basically works like a key and still have the metal key for the glove box.
Car Manufacturers are smarter now and so as the thieves.

sorry, my bad - my post was unclear. i was speaking only about the bmw keys that you talked about in your original post. i didn't mean all keys couldn't be duplicated.
my vw key works the same as the bimmer's - computer chip based and you can't use it in the door or the ignition without the correct chip. mercedes is the same way (actually they don't even have a key - it's just a fob)
