Any suggestions for a key FOB case for a 2025 base X3?

I've got the BMW M leather case. Bit bulky but very nice.

I found these on Amazon and love them. They are like a silicone sleeve that you slide on to your fob which takes a little work but once once it is on fits like a glove and is low profile so doesn't add a lot of bulk.

Did you pay $75.00 for it?

Got it for €55,-

There is also a plain black leather one which is €40,-ish.

The product I linked to in Post # 4 above fits the 2025 X3 fob.

There is no specific X3 key fob. It's the same shape for the newer generation cars.

I picked these up after seeing this thread and they're great. They get a little stuck in your pocket at times due to the silicone but in terms of low profile and protection, they're perfect.

I really like the design of the new fobs but for the life of me I can't figure out why BMW won't let the gloss black go (same with the interiors). The key gets scratched when you just look at it, let alone use it daily.

BMW uses the same fob for many of their cars. It will fit.

I haven’t used the fob once since I configured a digital key.

That was my plan too, until the alarm decided to go off constantly for no apparent reason. The only way I can get it to not do it, is to use the key to lock it and then disarm the tilt sensor.

Digital Key would definitely be ideal.

Is that something you have to select each time if using the digital key?

With the fob it's at least just "click, click" as you're walking about. Still an extra step to do, but it's quick/easy at least

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on some handmade leather accessories, and I recently finished a leather key case that fits the new 2024+ BMW X1, X3, X5, X7, i7, iX, and 7 Series smart keys.

It’s made from Italian vegetable-tanned leather, completely hand-stitched, and shaped specifically for the new BMW key design. I actually made the first one for my own car key, but a few friends liked it — so I figured I’d share it here.

If you’re into high-quality, minimal-style leather pieces, you might like this one. You can check it out at leatherbrut.com (not an affiliate link — it’s my small workshop).

Those look great.

Question: Why the little nub on the liftgate button? Just curious.

Order placed. My 2 Series key is identical to the BMW [2] key although your site doesn't call out the 2 Series. The orange coordinates with orange, so ordered a set for both fobs and eager to get these! :thumbsup:
