How do you go about programming the keys with different options? For example, when i lock/unlock the car the alarm chips. I know other things can happen too, ie, when you drive above say 5mph the doors automatically lock, electric mirrors can fold/unfold when you lock/unlock the car.

If memory serves me right, you will need to go to a dealer and let them know what you want your key to do and they program it. On newer models, it's possible to do this through the idrive.

+1 for having to be done by a Dealer....unless you have a coding tool. Later versions it's as said, in the iDrive.

With a scanner or through an Indy. You have an E53 right?
You can prog each key to set the seat/mirrors/steering/heating too.
