Rallye BMW details the process for cloning additional keys below:

Getting the metal cut would ensure that you are able to enter your car if somehow the security system rejected your aftermarket key.

I am going to try to program a backup through this method, will update on how it works.
This will not work for E84. Duplicating keys is more involved, and requires scanners in a region of $1000.
