How do you program a BMW remote key?

Can you tell me how to program a BMW remote key? I can only find instructions for physical keys, but mine is just the remote.

Sure! Programming a BMW remote key is simple once you know what to do. To program a
BMW
remote key, you’ll need to follow these steps:
  1. Get into your car and close all the doors, but make sure your doors are unlocked.
  2. On the side of your steering column, you should see a key icon.
  3. Place your key fob on the icon, then press the engine button to start your car.
  4. Your new key fob should now be activated.
If you have any problems with your key fob, try repeating this process again or visit your nearest BMW or dealership to receive assistance.
