Well i was thinking the same thing before i started, i just tested it every time i finished each part of the key (4 main parts) and it worked fine. I took a lot of time on wrapping it because its a small part and im one of those people who has to get it perfect. It looks really smart and it definetly looks very individual. Might to my spare key today.

You know, BMW really need to update their key designs. Don't you think?
