I just put in my order. Does anyone know if they will still offer the color add-on? On their website, it says sold out and I can't add it to the order. I'd be interested in getting it done in Yas Marina to match my car. Anyone have any pics of their key in YMB?

I know an instagram account I've talked to a few times does this conversion and painting. His account is "yourcustomparts". He did keys for a group of BMW youtubers like F80_Ho and still posts lots of keys for lambos, BMWs, and all these fancy cars. I've reached out to him before and he quoted me 350 for the full thing (conversion, custom paint, and I think he just got a laser cutter for cutting keys). Maybe you could reach out to him.
I have no affiliation with him or anything just a nice guy that's been very receptive and responsive to me. If/when I get my keys done, I'll do it through this guy/group. |

Can't say whats up with Gates now, but I had my F82 key converted over 2 years ago and haven't had any issues. I put my other original key in a safe and haven't used it since.

Does anyone have George's contact information or a phone number to reach Gates Innovation? I sent them my key a month ago to get upgraded to the X5M and nothing has happened. I have tried to email their support email 4 times now and I haven't got a response. Beginning to worry a bit.

Same here, sent 3 emails over the past 3 weeks just asking him to acknowledge that it was received. Zero response. This is getting out of hand...

Oh, I had no idea...I haven't followed-up with him lately, but the keys he's been working are so such high quality I figured he was doing well and right by his customers. Unfortunate... |

Yeah it looks like we all missed the window. I would love one painted tactical matte black but that has been "out of stock" for over a year. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought Gates worked with IND on the painting of these keys and IND is not selling any painted roundels at the moment because of quality control issues. (Another product I have been waiting for.)

I'll stick with my light in the pocket F style fob. If you have comfort access who gives a damn anyway. It's a BMW, not a Koenigsegg.

Yeah about my comment, it may have been a bit too cutthroat. I was trying to say that if the companies who perform these services are no longer in contact and/or charge ridiculous rates to sell you an F'in key fob, who really cares?

Not OEM as spoke to a company here in the UK and chap said they are replicas and if you wanted OEM then he could do this but would be a secondhand key and 150 more.
