E39 key has the notches near the base, e46 does not— I can tell those two apart in my pocket by hand.

My real issue is the two different e46s, which I can only tell apart by inspecting the cutout. I try not to have both in my pocket at once.

The issue is not having them in the pocket at once as that usually is not the case.

Issue is grabbing the right key when I head out. Lol I don't inspect them that carefully to know the difference in notches but I might now since you said something.

I guess I'm old school. I love using a key to start my cars. I hate the push button start. Although I do like not having to do anything to unlock the doors.

Totally get the not liking something hanging from the key. Mine is more for telling 2 cars apart since the keys are identical. E46 key chain not really an issue, E39 I might need something smaller.

I used to use that leather key pouch from BMW, but lost the securement device (it popped off). Now I just run a bare key, nothing attached.

Amazon item.

Yep. This was also my choice to replace the all metal M3 logo key ring the dealer gave me - it's light and doesn't annoyingly smash against the steering column

These days all I carry is a phone and a car key. I look forward to phones becoming car keys, so I can nix them, too... and then phone functionality moving to the watch.

I'm just waiting for the day we have eye implants running off our brains, give a whole new meaning to eyephone.

Problem with the whole keyless thing is the best cars required keys. Since about ‘06, cars are fashion accessories anymore, which is part of what I love about these. They are true “driver’s cars” in a very tangible sense of the word. People don’t value driver’s cars anymore because increasingly they don’t know how to drive — too busy looking at the... Fn... cell... phone.

Agreed 100%. I hate to even carry a wallet, and don't get me started on carrying a phone....

Nothing attached to my key at all. I can't stand anything dangling.

-- which is true for every car I own.

I use these for the M... but keep some others around as well...

Thought the head gasket ones were cool, but really wanted to make sure I never ever misplaced my key. So I had this made:

The M Rain one is the M3 and the black Donut one is for the M5

He was nice enough to actual make these since they're no where to be found. I'd rather give my $$ to a forum member then to some company based overseas that we'll never meet. Its a great price for a cool piece.

I agree! I guess it's rougher for me and my lower value Canadian dollars lol
