Hi Norrimac.
the key you had cut, did they programme the key to the ignition? They would have had to read the key from your car and remove the dme unit and circuit board from your car.
the chip in the key is a small black rectangular thing about the size of a rice grain… this is what needs programming.
what key reader was used? If the ignition key works, then the reader doesn’t.
The key reader I use is actually an AK90…
I can send you a link if you are tech savvy.
I would guess that you have a Blade cut to operate the door lock but it is just that a blade no chip in it. Stu knows more as he has done it but the Key reader should see the chip
Do you have a working key that starts the car if so then it is the Fob which needs replacing and registering to the car

Morning Bubba
Are you telling us your indicated mileage has risen from 63000 to 180000 ?
If that is the case then it needs some checking, BMW store mileage in 2 places the Instrument Cluster and the Footwell Control Module it could be that one or the other has been changed but not registered to the car correctly and now mileage has reverted to it's original or it could be the car was clocked at some time in it's life
