Fob covers?
Does anyone have a nice-looking, well-fitting fob cover? Looking for something to distinguish mine & my wife's fobs. Even though I put them on designated hooks, they don't always end up where they're supposed to be. So I often grab the fob for her vehicle and vice versa.

These dont fit.
M2 Keys are slightly (2mm) bigger than other G gen key fobs Just got these and they do not fit. Fits my m340 fob though.

The main part of the fob seems to be exactly the same. The detachable mechanical key requires the larger two-piece design so that the "frame" part can be detached to reduce the size of the lever on end of the key blade, otherwise it wouldn't have enough space to turn the door lock hidden under the driver's door handle.

Technically, they are already different. The key edge on the M2 fob is black while on the X3MC it's silver. But if I'm not looking closely or just grabbing one quickly off the hook, sometimes I miss it. Was just hoping there was something easy that would definitively distinguish them at an easy glance.

Have used the form fitting silicone ones from Amazon for years. Blue/black/red. Very durable, grippy, protective, cheap. Would be stretchy enough to accommodate that extra 2 mm also…

Not sure where I got these (see attached pic) but in my key drawer I found two BMW key fob tags. Leather strap with a logo on it with a split ring. Took the tag off and just put a ring on each 230xi key fob. The ring doesn't make the key fob to any bothersome degree bulkier but it is clear which key fob I pick up which car it belongs to. 'course, the M2 key fobs don't have the ring. Have to think about weight... |

Guess it will have to be these - at least they have pink, white, and blue as options as well. https://www.amazon.com/Keyless-Prote...1zcF9hdGY&th=1

I like to keep my fobs protected from getting gnarly in my pockets grinding against whatever is in there. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0?ie=UTF8&th=1 Last edited by Fastfwd; 04-08-2024 at 07:02 AM.. |
