Key case recommendations
Hi guys
Blue needs new key fob cases as the buttons have disintegrated. I bought some before but they were awful and required lots of fettling. Any originals hiding anywhere or better quality repros anyone could recommend? Thanks Dawn ☺ |

Buying off Ebay etc is a lottery. Russ told me a while aho even Brian and him had problems sourcing decent quality keys. |

Genuine Valeo cases are available provided you know where to look, and after all BMW purchase the key from a third party, ie Valeo, and don't make them in house The supplier is not what you would expect, however I'm not going to divulge that information for obvious reasons. What I will say though, is you can't buy them for a couple of quid each from eBay Brian |

I'm in the same boat, both original keys are starting to get quite worn. |

Pity you can't convert them to a jaguar style flip key. 😞
