Or TMPS Modules?

New keys? No. Each CAS unit has 10 keys made for it. You get two when you get the car. BMW has the other 8 (actually they have the transponders they put them into keys when you order them from the dealer). When all the keys are used up, it's time for another CAS.

There are tools you can use to make keys transponders using data in the CAS but most require you to desolder the EEPROM from the CAS unit and put it in a special reader.

Ok.. 1 down...

How about tpms module... I know u can kind of turn off the tpms with coding But I'm wondering can I program the module. I damaged one of the tpms module in the wheel well and bought a replacement but I'm still getting an error. After searching, I guess the modules needs to be programed also. Can we do that at home or is that a dealer thing.

I don't have TPMS on my car, only FTM. However, I don't think adding a new TPMS antenna is technically a coding feature, it's probably a more service function since you are replacing a sensor in the TPMS system and not the TPMS module.

I'd have to do some digging around but I'm pretty sure you would register the replacement using DIS, or possibly INPA. Have you tried resetting the TPMS system using the iDrive screen, or the BC stalk if you don't have iDrive?

I have tried resetting with I drive like a million time... before I would just get an error... but now when I turn on the car it actually say tpms inactive.

What u said about register the module sound exactly like what I need. So now I just to learn how to use dis. How would one register a module?

It'll most likely be a service function of the RDC module in your car. When you are in DIS select the module from the list after it does the quick test and click on the Service Functions button. You should be able to figure it out from there, I haven't done it before but I'm sure the function should be in there somewhere.

What about coding one of those 8 keys that were made for the car. I was told by the dealership that if I ordered a new key it would need to be programmed and all other keys in use would need to be present as well for programming.

It may need to be activated/programmed in the CAS if you have Comfort Access. But normally, they are all activated in the CAS by default and you have to disable the lost key and you can change the personal profile assignment from key to key. But it's not a coding feature, it's a service feature in DIS or in ISTA/D.

NCS can't control key functions in the E90 chassis', it's all done via the diagnostic software (such as DIS or ISTA/D, not sure if INPA can handle it).
