Check out the key fob of the X5M/X6M

motex · 03-14-2015, 01:04 PM

I was wondering if they can be coded to our F80/82/83's?

For sure it looks much cooler than our standard looking 3/4 series key fob.

Zee Dgerman · 03-14-2015, 01:09 PM

Can it be coded? I want it

GOLFFRR · 03-14-2015, 01:12 PM

you can only buy a key via your vin number I believe and the car has to be present. I could be wrong but doubt its possible. Yes the x5 keys are sick!

RickMonet · 03-14-2015, 01:21 PM

Is it smaller and lighter than our F8x keyfobs?

MFNATIK · 03-14-2015, 01:54 PM

That is not fair! BMW needs to make M exclusive key fobs!!!

They're bigger. They weigh about the same. They are much better looking though. Much much better looking.

You know the r8 key looks exactly like the previous gen A3 key.

azula · 03-14-2015, 03:49 PM

Very very nice, makes my key look like shit. LOL

TurboAL47 · 03-14-2015, 03:55 PM

same key for my X5 M-sport. initially i thought it was pretty clunky but over the past year and half i've gotten used to it.

ChrisMT79 · 03-14-2015, 04:59 PM

I would say if it's only a matter of coding, theoretically any of the key FOB's should be programable for any car. Unless it's chastity locked down like the ECU's are, why not? It's simply a remote signal, ofcourse VIN specific, but if the key is programmed correctly... Though I'm no expert, so those with more knowledge please feel free to school us.

OneRib · 03-14-2015, 05:09 PM

Nice looking but too big. When I drive my wife's X5 that key is an anchor in my pocket. I like the size of the F8xx key. It would be nice if they did something special to that key but in reality it looks nonce enough and just sits in my pocket anyway.

MFNATIK · 03-14-2015, 05:35 PM

Can you post a side by side so we can guage the size difference and detailing?

Wah · 03-14-2015, 05:38 PM

Yes, I have too much free time on my hands.

Thanks! Its not bad looking at all. Seems less flashy compared to the X5/6 key but not garbage like the older all plastic fobs (E9x,E6x, etc)

Nah a person with too much free time would have wrapped the thing in carbon fiber

Uneedthis2 · 03-14-2015, 07:55 PM

My key is always in my pocket. Don't care what it looks like. I sure don't buy my cars for the exclusivity of the key...

Agree.

But would be nice if the key fob was half the size it is now.

M grill stripes on ebay. They don't look so good on the grill (wrinkles) but they don't look so bad on the key!

And, yes, MBP... the older non-retina one that is upgradeable.
