Chris, sorry to hear your house got burgled. My keys were stolen when I was travelling last week, so I've just been through the same process; new locks and key set fitted by BMW dealer.
Of course they keys contain all the user settings, radio station presets, etc. but it never occurred to me that the car might have been re-programmed. I assumed they could just pair up the new keys. Now I'm wondering if my re-map is in place - I might have to go out and give it a test drive to be sure...
