540i key fob

Can anyone confirm what the g60 540i key fob looks like in terms of the material. There seems to be a matte hard plastic version of this key and a shiny gloss black one that looks nicer. Thanks!

There's mine when I compared it to the G30's second key before I gave it to the dealer.

Totally off-topic, but as your first photo scrolled into view my first reaction was wow, the fob on the right looks just like that sail shaped hotel in Dubai, Burj Al Arab

It looks like the one Ciprian shows on the left above. The shiny one was in 2024, but they discontinued it because people were complaining the Piano Black scratched to easily and then looked like crap.

That was the G30 one which did not look as cheap as the G60 one does imho.

It’s been switched from gloss black to matte last year due to complains about scratches
