Super nice Genuine BMW M Key Ring

Picked this up at EBay and just love it. It looks great with very good quality and is a bit older so can be had for about $32 Vs. the $65-70 for the newer ones.[IMG][/IMG]

Not that the current crop of authentic BMW key rings is anything to get excited about (they aren't), something like this coming from ebay has to be viewed with at least some skepticism.

Then again, who really cares if any of this sort of stuff is authentic, anyway?

Yeah EBay stuff...the authenticity is always a grab bag of ideas! Lol.

I also bought a leather case recently for my 1M key. It's clearly a Chinese made thing but I do like the way it looks!

Can you still stole the key into the slot with it on or is this just for comfort access?

The key ring actually came from a BMW Dealership here in the States and given its quality I believe it to be authentic

Yes, I can still put it in the Key FOB slot with no issues.

I just thought it was nice and wanted to share

I have this same exact one. It's holding up better than the OEM M case so far...

If BMW can put "M"s all over some of the vehicles they are doing that on, I think it is only fair that the teenage political prisoner artisans in China be allowed to make BMW keyrings, "M" and otherwise.

To the OP.

I've had one of those genuine M keyrings for a few years now.

Be aware that the gel stripes will fall off. I lost two in quick succession despite it not getting any significant use.

I thought about getting gel replacements but haven't bothered and I've been rocking the naked stripe look for a good while now.
