New E55 Owner

Hello All, I just picked up my 2004 E55 yesterday. One owner and very well kept local car with 49,000 miles. I am very impressed so far as this is an awesome car.

It only came with one smart key. What is the best option for replacement smart keys? Is the dealership the only option to get another? Thanks in advance for any help with my question.

I picked it up for $29,000.

My thoughts are right now to just tint the windows and find a nice 19" wheel set. Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards the 10 spoke convex design. Something like what is shown below.

Congrats on the purchase. As the key go, dealer is the only option because they have to have the car there to program the key. And it's about $500, so don't loose it.
