F30 M Sport

Vee · 07-24-2013, 08:48 PM

In the rush of having the lease co deliver my new 330 m sport I've just realised that I only got 2 keys, nothing else.
Does anyone know, should I also have got a valet key or any other type ?

Ps will get some good pics up at the weekend once back from hols - sapphire black with black leather, 19s & m sport were pics I couldn't find anywhere whilst awaiting delivery of mine !

Two is all you get.. and all you need. There is a key inside the key that separates for valet use.

Lovely thank you.
You have set my mind set to rest.

Is the idea of the key inside the key fob to get you in the car should your battery in the key die?

Yes

The "valet" option means that if you valet park you can store your valuables in the glovebox and then when you had your key over you can just take the internal key out meaning that someone can gain entry and start the car but cannot get into the glovebox.

And since you can lock the trunk from inside the glovebox, you can lock out trunk access from the valet as well.

I've not seen this - is it a US spec option?

NOt sure. Maybe it is... On mine there is a switch inside the glove box that locks the trunk so that it can't be unlocked/opened with the fob or from the button on the driver's side of the dash.

Not seen that switch in the glovebox - but doubt it'll be on a UK car as the button on the driver's side isn't.
