MY 24 owners, which key fob did you get?

Dnshift · 02-19-2024, 01:27 PM

It might not apply to the G80 M3, but I know BMW switched to a new key fob style, has anyone received this newest one with your new M3 or are they all still the same as the latest generation (more triangular styled one)?

Chonosuke · 02-19-2024, 01:32 PM

Do you have images of the other sides to compare? How do you like the new fob compared to the old one?

My 24 M4 came with the lower key on your post

Piano black on a key fob. Not BMWs best idea.

mieh100 · 02-19-2024, 08:39 PM

I got the new key fob on the LCI x7 and thr 24m3 I own has the old one.

Game · 02-19-2024, 09:39 PM

Top one has significantly worse range.

Also more of a pain in the butt to take out the physical key.

My 2024 M3 Competition came with the lower photo one in original post.

Dnshift · 02-19-2024, 10:38 PM

Thanks all!

Soylent · 02-19-2024, 11:48 PM

Lower one is a pos. Always popping the trunk open.

Humor. This issue happened with my F82 as well. Some people have had the dealer code a double press to open the trunk. Came out from lunch with my trunk open and some dude casing my car.

napeHbNYC · 02-20-2024, 12:19 AM

February ‘24 delivery with old style.

Mine did also. Wonder if the top picture has an /M logo on the side or something.

Doubt the other key fob would help with that...

wtwo3 · 02-20-2024, 11:33 AM

I have the top one on my X7. Design is cool but there's a major flaw... the keyring hole is way too small... only the thinnest of keyrings will fit through it and even then it's not ideal.. and those thin keyrings have a tendency to stretch out and eventually unravel. Not sure why they went with that design.
