Plastic emergency key for 07 335i Sedan?

lvwirelessguy · 11-04-2006, 10:28 PM

I took delivery of my 335i Sedan today and got 2 key fobs, but what I didnt get what the plastic emergency key & adapter fob. Is this something that BMW is not including on the 07's?

Yup, you only get 2 fobs with the 07s.

Thank you for the reply, not that I really would have used it but just wanted to make sure that I got everything I should have

Your key fob does have a little standard key embedded in it. If you push the black button at the top and pull out you can take the key off the fob.... I assume this is a valet key... but now that I think about it, I have no idea where the valet would put the key??? I think the only key hole inside the car is the glove box... but that can't be right, could it?

The '06s come with an extra key (like the ones contained within the fob) and a holder (which is the same size/shape as the fob). The extra holder is in the glovebox underneath the flashlight on the glovebox door.

BMW wants some more money from customers even after the 4 years/50kmiles on BMW assist by not including the 3rd key, but remotely unlocking it from the BMW assist if you ever get locked out.

So we got 4 years to train ourselves not to lose our keys

Even easier with CA: I don't remove them from my pockets!
