How do you carry your keys?

RSnic · 08-22-2020, 06:57 PM

I also started with the BMW fob case above, but switched to this lighter on

Instead I've now switched to a leather fob sleeve off of Amazon and am super happy. Not too bulky, nice quality, we will see how long it lasts!

I have something similar but in a darker brown. And no BMW logo at the back

I'm considering getting a case myself, not to protect the key but because of the low quality plastic... Seriously how did bmw think this was acceptable...

The new Audi keys are worse! I actually think the G20 key is better than the F25 key.

Carry digital key card with my driver license.....because it is summer.
Will just dump in my jacket pocket, when I wear one

Could be, but it's worse than a 20 year old vw golf...

Good thing the new keys are somewhat pointed. Makes it easier to insert.

I personally use the carbonfiber and metal key chain that gave me. nothing else.

I agree. Old VW keys are solid. I don't know about the latest ones though.

I usually travel with a small backpack either to and from work, the girlfriend’s house, or the gym - so I keep it in a pocket of my bag!

I got the same thing, only I roll with no keychain. My only issue with it is that the key gets a lot bulkier with the case. But it looks great, feels great, and when wearing tight jeans usually gets put in the cupholder or center console when I drive the car.

Dog Face Pony Soldier · 08-29-2020, 08:15 AM

I'm a minimalist about my keys so I just have a small titanium ring and 3 keys attached to the bare keyfob. The last thing I want is to make the keyfob bulkier by putting a cover on it. Plus, what am I trying to protect anyway? My F30 has 115k miles and the fob is fine. What am I protecting it for? Better resale!?!

Cranester1983 · 09-04-2020, 03:10 AM

my key is on a bunch of others including my house key and office keys - it's just a key to me

Ibiza · 09-04-2020, 02:27 PM

Sorry, crashing the G2x party, current F83 key. Used to have BMW M keys, but felt the price of the F83 justified a higher level key chain and wallet.

Each of set of my keys has a LV keychain, 4 total and all hotstamped, for a F83 and F85. I went way overboard
