The key has weight to it, doesn’t rattle, the buttons press smoothly, used an ak90 to program it on my 2004 e46. Works great

The one thing to watch out for is that they scratch and dent easy. So try to avoid dropping them on the ground.

Overall the product itself is of excellent build quality for the price. It feels solid, almost to the same degree of an OEM unit. My order arrived as exactly described: a key with a battery pre-installed, and a transponder that you have to install yourself. I picked up an OEM BMW key badge as an added touch, as it is not included. Installing the transponder is a bit tricky, as there are no instructions and you have to disassemble the entire unit to find where it goes.Pairing the key is pretty straight forward, just look up online and it takes less than a minute. However if you're getting this because your original keys are dead, be aware you have to start the key pairing process within five seconds of unlocking the door using your physical key. I didn't know that and was have issues at first.Getting this key fully functional isn't the easiest process. I ended up driving to three different locksmiths to find someone that could cut the darn thing. Even then, the place charged $40 for their work, not the cheapest expense. You also have to remove the blade from the key so the locksmith can cut it, the key housing gets in the way of their mounting equipment.Getting the key cut is not the end of this long process as programming the transponder is also a bit of a pain, but I feel anyone can do it with the right tools. I picked up an AK90+ on eBay for about $20, and the whole process of tearing apart my car and programming the key only took about 30 minutes. Do keep in mind though that if you plan on doing this, you'll need a 10mm socket wrench, an extension for it (so you can reach the EWS), and trim prying tools.This key once fully functional works really well and looks really clean in comparison to an original key. While there are a bit of hidden costs, having only spent roughly $80 when BMW quoted me $400 for a replacement key seems like a really good deal. It just takes a bit of time and dedication.My car: 2003 BMW 325xi Touring (E46)

This key is awesome. It has a really solid feel.The flip button is great. Feels great in the hand. Not too heavy or big. Feels great in the pocket. Programming worked with an eBay AK90 programmer. The chip comes outside of the key, so installation is needed. There is a small notch (shown in red circle) on the back of the key to open for battery replacement/chip insertion. Got the key cut at a local locksmith.
