Anyone have source for a wallet or compact key blade for the X3 which I can have a locksmith cut from my actual key? I assume dealers will not do this. I know that will only open the doors. Too bad the iDrive 6 cars can't use the key cards (I think?).

BMW activity key is probably the smallest thing you can get. Google it.

The activity key doesn't have a manual backup key should the key battery die. So I want a compact blade just in case. It doesn't look like I can take the rear portion off the standard blade and still have enough key to use. There's probably some aftermarket key blades, but many appear to be larger than necessary with bulky plastic handles.
