The serial number on the back of the radio will need to be given to the dealer to obtain the code. There are vastly superior radios available in the aftermarket and they have much better reception and functionality than the stock radio. The dealer might want a premium (!) of several dollars, I've heard up to 40 bucks, to retrieve the code from the BMW database, what a rip off.
