master key & side moulding

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

And Sirius, I've spent so much time on this board that I actually use the terms "trunk" and "hood" now...



:haha: :haha: :P



Sirius : Don’t be pi**ed about the M3 badge, its very similar to those that come on the wheels …



Not pissed.



Ill get me a sticker! w00t.



Yeah, none of these keys are as cool looking as the new E46 keys. Even the one with built in alarm stuff is ugly...though more functional.



I love the looks of the newest E46 key.

my car didn't have one of the fancy keys when i got it either. it's strange your dealers are charging you $50. i only got charged $52 for the key AND an M3 keychain.



the keychain i had wasn't nearly big enough for the ginormous master key.



personally i like the coloured rondel lighted key better than the key with 3 buttons on it.



what do the E46 keys look like?

All current BMW keys look like this, except for the 7 series, which techinally isn't a key, because its a keyless ignition system.



I actually found this on ebay... I can't beleive people are stupid enough to bid on a key that'll never fit their car, as the keys are VIN coded. Morons.



On a side note: WD Pro, I now have a ///M sticker from a wheel attached to my key fob....http://members.cox.net/morpheus91/images/icons/screwy.gif



From the top of the key, the side with the brass on it:



Unlock, then the roudel is lock, and the bottom button is the trunk/panic button.

Stop it before its to late, It will become a hobby and you will end up sticking them everwhere !



I even have an M coat hanger and a ACS logo (about twice the size of the M logo) stuck on the back of my tax disk holder !

I broke my key and used the parts from a different key. The dealer doesn't sell individual parts... like buttons, or lights or whatever. I imagine those people buying them are doing what I did... and transplanting some parts to their existing key.

Ahhh. That makes sense then.
