M3/M4 key fob

[W12x]

Anyone know how the M3/M4's key will look like? Just like the F30/32's or something different?

I believe they'll look like the 5th pic in the link below.

I was just wondering this the other day. I'm sure it'll be like the F3x fob, but I wonder about the accent color. Would be cool to see them do the a tri-color M stripe.

Hopefully it is a bit more colorful than that.

I don't like the F30's key, in fact I like my E92 key better than the new F3x keys. Thinking about doing a key fob design myself when I get the car.

The F3X M-Sport comes with the blue key (..and the other colors are for base, Luxury, Modern, etc.). The F8X key will likely have the blue as well (..although the one on the F8X M3 has the silver color).

Yeah, the one in the pic of the car at the dealership looks like it has the silver insert, but hopefully we get something unique for production cars.

They whore out M badges all over the car already. One place it would look cool though is on the reverse side of the key.

Better still would be to replace the BMW roundel that locks the car on the fob with the ///M logo.

Wish they would give us the new x5 msport key fob

Agreed. Something equivalent to this would be nice:

Now that's what I am talking about. If an MSport model gets the M stripes on the fob, then you've got to put them on the real M models' fobs.

Would be relatively easy to design a special M key, it doesn't grey "used" like the old gen keys did.

Is it possible to program any style fob to any car?

That looks like a USB stick.

haha, I think that one you still have to insert into the dash to activate.

That msport one is definitely nice.

The newer key fobs are more user friendly. No longer do I have to press and hold the trunk/panic button for 1.23 seconds to open the trunk and worry about sounding the alarm!!

It's roughly the size of one. It's nice not having to carry around a small brick in my pocket.

Nope.

You can pull out the Start/Stop button and crank the ignition old-school style in the event that the key fob battery dies, which is convenient.

More convenient than holding up the key fob to the power steering rack and praying the key gets recognized.

I prefer the silver trim over the gaudy blue or red trim on the F30 M Sport and Sport Lines.
