I long for the days when the fob was tiny and built right into the top of the key (as it was for my 2001 E46 M3 and 2001 X5). I hate having a lot of needless bulk in my pocket. Small is beautiful when it comes to fobs. -scr

Doesn't Lexus have a credit card size key fob that fits in your wallet? I want one like that, make sure I don't leave my wallet at home.

Update: I found a pic

How does one get these other colors? Would it work with the standard M2 fob - I.e. The "plain" silver surround? Thanks.

Contact your BMW parts department it's sold separately. Pop on and off

So... My parts guy says they don't sell them. I think he just doesn't know. Anyone have part numbers? Sorry to bug y'all here over this.

I did - I couldn't find anything. I am not confident that I really know the catalog well enough to be comfortable that my search was exhaustive, however. F87queen seemed so confident, that I was assuming he's right. That is my only reason for believing it exists right now.

Got to race a X6M at the BMW M track days event. Here is a pic of my keyfob for the 335i vs the X6M.

Thanks. You don't have to do that, so I thank you sincerely for helping a brother out.

Does the US M2 have a physical key for entry, or only the key fob?

Physical key is inside the keyfob

I'm amazed at how spoiled I am with comfort access. I'm traveling for work a lot these days and renting a lot of cars. I get so annoyed at having to fish the keys out of my pockets when I get a car without keyless entry.

Bad news! It is not sold separately. Only comes with each key. I'm sorry

No worries. Thanks for checking. Appreciate it.

I personally think BMW should make the M Cars' key fobs different and unique.

Totally agree!

They have done it for the i series which, as we all know and agree, deserved a lot less than the M series

I don't mind the silver

I couldn't care less about it either. In fact, being three weeks away from delivery if it would be like this TODAY, I would take it

Me too. The only reason I was looking for color match is I have another car with the same fob and sometimes I get confused with 4 identical fobs there. My wife got a leather strap of some sort (Kate Spade maybe) that is almost the exact blue. That solution doesn't work for me. Heh.

It is different and unique (silver + black), just not in a great way.
