mkoepp Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I bought a set of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/261201404201 I found a good write up on bimmerforums on how to do it. I cut the fake led end off and had to trim the top button to clear the chip in the key. The battery does not need to be removed so I did not have to re-initialize the key. I am happy how the buttons turned out. The lock button would not work with the old worn buttons. When I do my other key I will post a few more pics on what I did.

B C Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Oh boy, those are some worn out buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I did that on my e46 key, my buttons were smashed into the key and all kinds of sticky. New buttons FTW! If only my key battery would charge in my ignition... battery dies every few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't be that much different in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoepp Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I took some pictures of my second key repair. It can be found here. http://www.wibimmers.com/board/index.php?/topic/3576-e39-key-button-dyi/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
