Replacement Key Fob Case Shell Fit for BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, X5, X6, Z4 Keyless Entry Remote Car Key Fob Cover Casing with Uncut Blade Blank

I'm pleasantly surprised so far. I wasn't expecting a perfect match, but from what I gather so far it's pretty close. The key fob shell itself is identical in proportions and the material and color seem to be an exact match. I had replaced the battery (and messed up the old fob in the process, hence the replacement) and the new battery and PCB insert fit perfectly in the fob. It has a nice, solid click when pressed together and sealed. FYI, the fob shell arrives unassembled, so no worries for pulling it apart. Just insert the guts and click together. I was also pleased that the fob comes with a BMW sticker applied (it's covered by black tape, you just have to remove) and it seems like a close match. That saves the $10 I had set aside to order a replacement badge from FCP Euro. I can't tell if the texture of the logo is the same, but at this point I'm not overly concerned and it's good enough for me. The only difference I've noticed is with my old key insert itself, which has the slightest gap when inserted in the fob. I don't think you can even see it in the photos, and it doesn't bother me - and I'm particular. If you see the photos of the two keys side by side, you may be able to gauge the slight difference in dimensions. I'm personally not using the key blank, as I have the original key and just need a new shell, so no comments on that. Net result, I'm happy with the purchase and relieved that I only had to to spend $20 (battery + key fob shell) versus the $240 odd bucks the stealership quoted me. UPDATE 8/9/20: The gap is no longer an issue, I reinserted the key and it's a tight fit. I have now noticed the shapes and text are a little off, but just a little. Also, the grey / silver portions of the key have a slightly different color and the replacement key is a little more matte in finish. I'm still very happy overall and the key fob works perfectly.

The internal controller fit in this housing well and it fits in the car great too. It feels nice and sturdy. I think it is better quality than the factory fob housing.

The assembly was easy and it works fine. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that this fob hangs up in the ignition just bit. It goes right in to start the car, but you have to wiggle it a bit to get it out. Functions perfectly otherwise and seems well made.

Fits perfectly just like oem!

I replaced the rechargeable battery in my fob, and this looks just like the factory fob, it's not flimsy, rattly or anything . I purchased a genuine BMW emblem to place in the middle, and now one can't really tell it's aftermarket at all. Just take your time placing the emblem , making sure it's leveled, once attached it'd be difficult to reposition.

The BMW emblem rubs off easily compared to the original key however, that doesn't matter much when you can save yourself money. I would say take your time when cutting off the original key because if it breaks and you don't have a spare like me, I would have had to paid for a tow to the shop and a new key and programming which would have been an expensive mess up. I took my time cutting and testing the fob and it turned out great. I now can easily replace the battery when need be however soldering is required for replacing the battery.

NOT GOOD PRODUCT AND WONT LAST LONG
