You have to pull the radio and get the serial number. The dealer can look up the code given the radio serial number. If they want to charge you for this service, find another dealer.

call the dealer and give them ur vin number and they will give u the code .somtimes the pepole that owned the car before u had the same prob and they will right in the manual
You need to pull the radio far enough out of the dash so you can read the serial number. The radio may be held in by two special 5-sided cup head screws beneath little doors in the radio face. If so, you can buy that tool on line, or you may get lucky and be able to loosen the screws with some other sharp tool.
If your dealer wants money to look up the serial number and get the code for you, try another dealer. I got my code for free from Niello BMW in Sacramento. (great dealer)
If you do not have the code written in your owners manual or on some other piece of material you got with the purchase of your car then the only way to get the code is to remove the radio, check the serial number and call BMW with that serial number. Good luck!
