My spare key came with a tag attached with a number on the back. Is that for spare key replacement purposes? Can a locksmith do it? or is it for some other purpose??? BMW R18 Key 1.jpg

it is for use if the battery in the main key dies. As you have the handbook, section 40 answers your question
 
The question is about the tag that came with the key, it says "GKS" on the front. Not about the plastic spare key, I have used that and it works. The tag in question has a number on the back, "J4817", that I am guessing is for getting a new spare key? See the picture of the GKS tag next to my spare key. Anybody know? That number is not my actual number.... GKS Schließsysteme GmbH Neiman Motorrad-Schloßtechnik This might be the company.
