The metal portion(M stripe),buttons, emblems and the housing are genuine parts( as I see some people who do the conversion offer oem enblems ONLY). the plastic cover( battery cover), physical key parts and the board are aftermarket as the physical key parts are brand new uncut.

Price will be $330 CDN including physical key cutting, however l will be giving 10% off to the first 5 people. 3 remaining.

I've done many key conversions, 1 year warranty for the board will be provided( from the date of receiving the upgraded key fob)

Price will be slightly higher than others as I maximize using genuine parts for the key. Aftermarket housings / emblems will either fade or turning yellow over times but oem won't.

FranklinTsui · 08-25-2021, 06:01 PM

10% off is now ended as spots are already filled up.

Got my key back from Franklin last week and I have no regrets getting the conversion done. Works just like the OEM key did, I haven't noticed any difference in function. Franklin had the key done and on it's way back to me very quickly and was very communicative of how the job was going.

Pictures really only tell part of the story, the new fob feels significantly higher quality than the cheap feeling old one. The added weight, real metal, the buttons having a very nice tactile click to them, all add to the feeling of quality. Yes this is the key an M car should come with.

18BSMF82 · 08-31-2021, 10:31 PM

I just received my new key from Franklin as well. Super fast turnaround time and he answered all my questions and concerns promptly via text. The key works perfectly and just like my old one. All functions work flawlessly. Super impressed and happy with it!

Also - he provided me with a really cool alcantara key chain (pictured below) that he makes. Highly recommend.

azuritschwarz · 09-03-2021, 02:35 PM

Anyone who is on the fence about this needs to just get it done! Franklin was amazing to deal with throughout the process.

The new fob is more substantial feeling, & all the buttons have that satisfying metallic click that the original key lacked.

Highly recommend.

calcio · 12-30-2021, 10:34 PM

I’m interested and would like to get this done sooner rather then later since the M is stored away for the winter.

Just a few questions on programming the key. Also details on where to shop the fob too?

ilovemym4 · 01-19-2022, 09:40 AM

I just got this done with Franklin. Received my key yesterday. A++ service with communication and product. Quality of product feels great, has a nice weight to it, and just overall looks really good.

Thank you Franklin! You will be receiving my second key sometime soon.

Calcio - feel free to reach out if you want to see in person

Another positive review. Very happy I did the conversion!

Lefo · 02-19-2022, 02:00 PM

Is there a black version?

Not a fan of the silver.
