You're welcome :).

and man, not that I don't love my key... it's just big and a bit ugly. Not to mention this is the second time I've lost the battery cover. Sigh..

I got those inserts at my BMW dealer for $14 a pop for my 91 850.... Why pay $40 on eBay????

Thanks 1chiban!

bmwracer, If you know where to get them, Why are you asking for them???

I don't know where to get them, I actually didn't even think about dealer, I don't understand why anyone would charge so much for key that is all. I was hopping someone who has an old key they don't need from salvage car or something or maybe just extra head attachment. I don't need a blank key, I just need head but I am not going to pay $40 for one.

The head is called a light insert! I seen one sell on Ebay for $203.00us, I bought one from the same guy a week later on the bay for $17.00 Crazy huh?

220222487934 for $15.84?No that's not the auction, I forgot the sellers name but he always have them, He normally sales the gas can that fits inside the spare tire, Sometimes ///M Brake Calipers and other hard to find bmw items, I forgot his user name, I bought them nearly a year ago.

I believe this is the guy 8eights is talking about. Bought a lighted shifter knob from him 2 years back.
