Replacement Key Fob Cover Case fit for BMW X1 X3 X5 X6 X7 1 2 5 7 Series Keyless Entry Remote Control Key Fob Shell

I bought a used F15 series X5M, and the prior owner took absolutely horrible care of the key fobs. The internals work well, but the BMW logos and the metallic paint on the side pieces were chipped off badly. BMW wanted $450 for each key to replace them, and they do not sell the individual components for cosmetic repair. So I found a company on here that sold the BMW sticker logo replacement for the lock button, and those replacements were absolutely perfect and cheap. Then I found this key fob shell, so for the price, this was a much better solution for me. And it's ultimately a nearly-perfect solution. The M series has black buttons, not silver ones, so I never intended to use the entire shell. Also, I wanted to keep the original key base (which includes the physical grooved key in case the battery dies). So all I needed was the metallic side piece. The color is a little mismatched from the OEM key; the OEM side piece is a little shinier whereas this is slightly more of a matte silver. It's close, but not perfect. Also, the screw hole that connects this replacement side piece to the plastic fob is drilled about 0.5mm too high for the OEM shell. The screw still fits, but it has to go in at a slight angle, and I think it slightly strips the plastic in doing so. I don't feel comfortable removing the screw (not that I ever would), for fear of stripping the now-expanded grooves and not making a tight fit again. Finally, there is about an extra half millimeter of gap between the key base and the side piece compared with the complete OEM fob. I've included pictures showing the entire process. They tell the story. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the result. I'd really like to give this 4.5 stars instead of 5, because it's a nearly perfect fit but certainly not a perfect fit. But I'm not demoting them to 4 stars either; their solution saved me >$400 over replacing the key. If you only have cosmetic damage, this is a great solution. I can't comment on how the internals fit, because I didn't use this for that purpose. I can say that the buttons feel very high quality, and the weight of the entire construct feels the same in my hand to the original. Keep up the good work, Horande! If you ever sell just the side piece alone, I'd buy it for my other scuffed fob! :)

Doesn't fit my x6 key

Product was better than expected. It looks great and fit the original key fob parts perfectly.

Not suitable for 2023 bmw 530i model keys

Fit perfect for my 2018 BMW X1 remote. Wish it would have came with instructions. Took me about an hour to figure it out. Feels more high quality than the OEM remote.

It didn’t work

The build quality is great out of the bag. heavy, solid. But I needed it to replace the edge piece of plastic trim that runs long ways on my OEM key. unfortunately, The trim piece of plastic, nor the removable edge metal, are a 1 for 1 dimensional match for a 2020 BMW OEM key fob (see pictures). The metal screw hole on the new one is longer than the OEM. And the plastic trim piece just does not line up properly. These small differences do not allow for the new one to be placed on the old one. A real shame. Can't find the plastic trim piece replacement anywhere.
