New ignition key housing for BMW 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 series (E31, E32, E34, E36, E38, E39, E46, Z3, Z4). This product is a durable and reliable plastic housing designed to replace a worn or damaged original key casing. The kit does not include the electronic part (immobilizer chip), allowing you to restore the appearance and functionality of your old key by transferring the electronic components.
The housing is made of high-quality plastic, precisely matching the original geometric parameters, ensuring a perfect fit for all internal components and ease of use. Two versions are available, differing in the type of blade (metal key part):
- Product code ABM8.A – supplied with a blade of type HU58.
- Product code ABM8.B – supplied with a blade of type HU92.
Before ordering, it is important to determine which blade type (HU58 or HU92) is used in your original BMW key. For visual comparison and accurate identification, detailed images of both types are provided:

The replacement process requires careful transfer of the immobilizer chip and blade from the old housing to the new one. It is recommended to entrust this procedure to a qualified specialist or auto mechanic with experience in working with BMW automotive keys.
