Not really very smart (of your friends), wearing the emergency plastic key out like that for a purpose for which it's not intended.
Besides, I'm not sure if it has any limitations on use like opening the trunk etc.
But again, it's not a VALET KEY anyway.

A rather expensive suggestion if each new key is damaged by salt water after every dive.

You'd have to lie about how the damage was sustained to get anywhere near a warranty claim in these circumstances - that's not what I do.

The plastic keys were not meant as spares (even though many use them for that purpose). They are valet keys, and will not open the trunk or glove compartment. The newer E60's with the Start/Stop button use the remote as the valet key and a pull-out metal key that lock/unlocks the trunk and glove box, so there is no more need for the plastic key.
