As the title states - share you bmw/m or other cool keychain and where you got it. I'm trying to subtly tell a new car is coming and this might help drop the hint lol.

Edit: for fairness here's my current, when I gave up my A5 for a family mdx I took my wife's 2003 c320 4matic. My FIL had this cool old gullwing ray catena key chain so I used that. Unfortunately it broke the last few days.

I got the M Performance suede key case.
Looks nice but it's a little bulky to put it in the pocket now.

I got this a few months ago from eBay for my G82. It came with two in the package.

Same. I keep my keys to minimum. That means nothing without a functional purpose, and titanium rings for minimum weight. Why anyone wants extra bulk and weight on something they have to carry around every day is beyond me.

I agree. I've been using the digital key so I don't even need to carry the key. Despite the limitations with its current implementation, not needing to carry a key is worth it to me.

During my visit to the Welt museum in Munich the building was evacuated for the once a year fire system test. When we got back in everyone was given the 'I love my bimmer' e30 key ring.
It's was my first BMW so a great keepsake

A quick question for you. I also have this casing. But I noticed that sometimes the casing interfere with the key fob freq w the car....

Sometimes the car doesn't know that I'm near (to unlock the door) or walking away to lock the vehicle. Or maybe its just me.

I tried switching to new batteries and it still acts the same way as long as i have the casing.

But once I remove the casing, no problem.

And they tell you to always carry a backup key with you. Likely in the event either your phone becomes lost or stolen, or just disconnects and you can't reconnect it.

Bulky and I can't attach my mailbox and house key to it, so, I may change it, in the future.
