I purchased a genuine BMW leather cover for my keys. They had to replace my keys twice already due to abnormal battery drain. Apparently the leather cover pushes onto the key resulting in emptying the battery.

My dealer ordered it. I have both versions one for my M2 Comp and X7M50i key.
I found it on Amazon and EBay for you. Make sure you get a Genuine oem BMW model as there are knockoffs of this that are not made nearly as well. https://www.amazon.com/BMW-82-29-2-3...71R8SL6G&psc=1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/12466428561...kAAOSwq1ld58eC Last edited by MystroX5; 05-14-2021 at 09:14 PM.. |

These look pretty nice! Would you be able to share more photos up close of the key in the case, to get a feel of the size and bulk? They're not cheap but the curves and clip look of quality. Last edited by hiki08; 05-18-2021 at 11:01 AM.. |

I still think the angle of approach makes a big difference. If you approach from the front or rear it is almost like the signal is blocked or the sensor only works a certain angle of the handle or something. |

It's still a nice cover and they are never side by side to see the difference. If someone didn't know you were aiming for a match then they wouldn't know you got it wrong - it's not even a close match. Mocha is closer to black than to coffee. |

Thanks! Looks like a very nice snug fit. I can imagine why carabiners can be expensive, especially if your life hung on it . |

Just received this key fob from ETSY for X5
Was looking for something different and saw this on ETSY. It's a little bulky, but appears to be indestructible. It does cover the emergency key and to remove the battery , you would need to remove 4 little screws. I checked to make sure that it would not interfere with auto unlock feature and that appears to be fine. With the cost of a replacement key (in case of damage), i figured it was a worthwhile investment and looks sharp.
It was around $50 bucks with shipping. Never in my wildest dreams would i think i would spend that much on a key fob cover. It's my first BMW and i am still in that honeymoon stage!! |

while my old cover is more protective due to the silicone insert and plastic shell, it's bulky, so i switched to a leather cover from Etsy. i like how it's form-fitting, and its ingeniously simple design overlaps the corner of the emergency key to keep the fob from sliding out. tactile operation of the buttons is possible due to the accurate leather stamping.
requisite features for me: convenient detachment of the emergency key and easy fob removal for battery changes . unfortunately, the Etsy shop recently closed. |
