Keyfob colors on M235i?

Hi everyone, i purchased M235i mineral white with red leather and i am worried the key will be blue, and won't match anything on a car. Can you please share what color your keyfobs are along with your car color? I would really appreciate.

I would love to have light beige key, but dealer said, i can't choose a keyfob color unfortunately.

Also if you have comfort access, you will never even see the Keyfob!

Your keyfob will be blue. The different colors you see on other models are for the different line (ie sport, luxury, etc). This is M-Sport which is blue. Why does this need to match anything if it's going to be in your pocket?

Well, not a first world problem, just was curious. Kinda stupid to offer blue key for white/red car. Id rather have black. And no, i wont pit blue key in red leather case, that is dumb too, I'm sorry no. It's not a mitsubishi mirage 1999 for $1000, so yes, I would like colors to match when I am paying over $50000 for tge car.

Indeed.

And shoes.

A $50k car should also come with shoes that match the interior leather.
The laces should color coordinate with the piping.

OP raises an excellent point.

I have BSM and, sad to say, my key fob trim is also blue!

But what's truly shocking is that the buttons on the fob are plain aluminum, whereas I had asked my CA for alum hex to match my interior trim. The horror!

I love american consumers. So careless and not demanding. Ready to throw $50k (as long as they don't have to pay immediately) and take whatever they are given and will even be thankful to dealer for providing the opportunity to bring the money to him. I love USA, this is why I am 5 years here, came with $600 in a pocket and now drive M235i brand new. Thanks to such guys. Perfect consumer country

I'm raising the valid question, why there is a blue keyfob for white/red car, and these consumers dare to make laugh at me well, good luck getting screwed by every single merchant, you are indeed what they call "a perfect consumer"

You have big troubles. You have blue brake calipers also.

Rather than attempting to order a fob to match your car, it's very simple to spec the car to match the fob. I mean come on, how hard can that possibly be?

The generalizations you make here are quite amusing. What other country will BMW (or any other car maker) let you choose the color of your key fob to match the color of your car?

So, all of us here are getting screwed because we have accepted that not every single thing is going to be an option for us by the manufacturer. I should bitch and complain that I didn't have an option to get grey tires to match my grey wheels and grey paint job.

The only reason that anyone here "make laugh" at you is because we think that being concerned about something so small is silly. One person did raise a valid point saying that your brake calipers will be an obvious blue too. There are blue M235i logos just about everywhere in the car. There are plenty of other flaws with the car and no manufacturer will give you everything you want exactly how you want it.

Dude, it is indeed no big deal. I started a thread for this, ok. Another person starts a thread to post some pics, same thing. Why not laugh at him and tell him pics are no big deal. I didn' bitch at anything, i only eas curious if there was an option and asked about the color that comes with it, since i simply didn't know. Was not looking for smart @ss ironic comments. Shame on people who does that, that's it. I meet such people in real life and can say for sure, that they are acting like smartasses just because of their own insecurity related to them being dumb in life. Smart self sufficient person never acts like that, a bunch of kids do.

Agree mirrors not matching and brake calipers not matching are a determinant to some extent of the color I chose for the car.

Key fob not matching? I would have never even noticed that

You guys are funny. I loled at the blue brake calipers comment.

Be careful guys cause Vlad might say you are being negative again.

All laughing aside, I doubt you will find something of good quality out there but have you checked ebay?

Retarded thread. I'm sure South Beach pecking order is determined by the color of your key fob.
