Does any know if it's there is any way to update the x5 key interms of styling? I know it's a very minor thing but I really don't like the standard key. I love the idea of the flick key or even spending a few pounds and going keyless. Has anyone done this or does anyone know of anyone who can? :-[

Was wondering about that too.
It does also say just swap the internals over which would include the chip wouldn't it.

Re: Key body
So the internals (the circuit board) from the older key fit directly into the newer key ? I'm surprised at that.
Both my keys need replacing so I will do this if its easy DIY.

Re: Key body
And of course the other question is: how well will it charge off the induction system in the ignition switch?
