The key is an additional $4500 for the key to function is $985 a month and for the ignition slot it's $355 a month and once it breaks after you use it the first time you gotta pay a $34,000 replacement fee
They should collab, seeing as they are two of the most overpriced and elitist consumer brands out there. That being said, amazing work! It looks like an actual producr mock-up.
You forgot that Apple has way more advanced tech than BMW can imagine. They wouldn't design such a remote. Still the leather touch is nice piece of work.
They are and have been collaborating for some years, the 2020 BMW 5 series was the first car to support Apple Car Key (digital, in the Wallet app). And it’s free.
@Sunil Kumar.E.S in the bad old days of automobiles the "coach companies" and "motor companies" were often completely separate. Buy a coach, buy a motor, find a way to get them to work as a single vehicle...
If this was real from Apple then the key provided with your car would either do the locking or do the ignition but wouldn't do both. but it would be OK, because they would just tell you to buy the newer model key in a few months and they'll have ironed out that particular issue.
Yeah, besides from the programed obsolesence, apple would never think of using leather on a product. Maybe a cheap white plastic carcas with glued wired circuits all over the frame that will break at the slightiest sign of intention to open for battery change will suit it better.
Didn't they already collaborate? A couple years ago, in one of their keynotes, they announced that you could put new bmw keys into the my wallet app and unlock them with your phone. Who knows, maybe I just have memories of something that never happened.
@Leo Specht Samsung also made and maybe still makes apple’s oled screens. I’ve said before Samsung has exceptional hardware and low tier boosted software. It’s like ordering a steak and putting chocolate syrup all over it.
@Romeo Alpha Juliet Golf Also do you know why Apple batteries are even as good as they are now? Amperex Technology Limited supplies Samsung with their batteries. Apple decided to conveniently switch over to the same supplier as well. 🤷🏻♂️ Samsungs had it locked down for the longest.
If they collaborated, then after 3 years, your car would mysteriously slow down to walking pace. Oh, and you would only be allowed to use "superior" Apple gasoline. 😲 (I forgot to add that your computer would start leaking coolant...)
You'd probably have to pay separately for all the parts to the car then when it's time for an oil change they'll tell you "there's nothing we can do you'll just have to buy a new car"
They are and have been collaborating for some years, the 2020 BMW 5 series was the first car to support Apple Car Key (digital, in the Wallet app). And it’s free.
Of course, it's German. German cars are great. But why I will never own a BMW is because they are so expensive to maintain. Maintaining a BMW will cost more than the vehicle itself when you first bought it. It's not worth it. VWs are the best.
First of all excellent work that's truly beautiful but second of all I think we all know that entire thing would be fine machine aluminum if it was made by Apple
Ah, yes… I do so love the idea of two company’s that thrive on planned obsolescence, combined with exorbitant price gouging, getting together to make a product.
@Chex NFX kinda have to remind you that covid made everything more expensive, used cars included, not to mention that your 2018 must have not driven for so long to depreciate it up to 60%
@Jay the cars are amazing. It’s a rule of thumb, you don’t drive them past 80k miles or so. Common knowledge. Every 5 years I get a new one. Why would I drive a car for 20 years if I don’t have to? 😂. Also, they don’t go down 80% 😂😂. My 2018 hasn’t barely decreased in value in the 3 years I’ve had it. -10% about
If Apple and BMW collaborated I would say you would end up with an overpriced pos made with a bunch of proprietary parts that needed to be serviced monthly and was designed for obsolescence. But hey, it would look pretty though
I think if apple collabed with BMW, everything else apart from the leather part would be carbon fibre. Either that or the other way ground. Everything leather with the battery case door being made of titanium.
"we don't know what conditions you plan to drive in or whether you plan to drive on road, or track. Wheels and tires to suit your preferences are available for purchase or feel free to use the ones you have lying around." Speakers are an option since you might prefer to use your Bluetooth (sold separately)
Well, for what we can tell, if apple and bmw collaborated, Everytime you turn on your car you would probably have to pay $30 worth in apple currency each time you start up your car
Dealership: "And that would be $40k" Costumer: "Wow, just $40k for the new BMW?" Dealership: "No, that's just the key... see? There's an Apple logo on it!" Costumer: "Here! Take my money."
I think the fob looked good if he would’ve just added the leather wrapping to the back panel but the Apple logo ruined it for me- not an Apple hater, just didn’t need to be on the fob
So it's just the logo? Bmw would be much more likely to use leather on something without apple. They use leather pretty frequently. Cool looking key modification.
If BMW collaborated with apple then to drive the car home, we would need to buy the key fob separately. Not to mention excruciatingly slow power socket for the car or some kind of fuel that only apple sells at a premium cost.
My thoughts too, cant remember many leather apple products. Mostly just glass, metal, and plastic. Like those clear blue mac desktops from back in the day haha
I thought he was goin a build an airpod, apple tag or something into the fob housing lol, I was genuinely praying he wouldn’t just add an embossing or something but nooooooo a scratched alloy is way more collaborative
If that happened, we would have to go to bmv to get the battery changed, costing us the price of the key, which is sold separately. Not to mention, the app used to remote start and unlock/lock the car is only available on ios.
If BMW kept selling the same old car the way apple sells iPhones, they wouldn’t be ruining the new ones. And of course a tiny logo milled from a solid block of aLUminium 😂
"Yeah you're unable to repair the car yourself. Yeah you even used official parts but now your car radio is disabled, you can only go forwards, and your windscreen has delay. Take it to an official repair place and pay $6,000 to reenable the features."
“What if Apple collaborated with BMW?” You’d be able to use your iPhone as a key… which you are. Apple Carkeys via wallet was released on the 2020 (maybe 2021) BMW 5 Series.
BMW and Apple did kinda partner up. Apple added access to your BMW via the wallet app. So if you have a newer BMW with that capability, you can add your key to your phone like a Tesla.
That's so Apple of you sir for trying to lure me in but I thought you gonna glue the key from the inside so no one could open it, even for a battery swap. Only call Appledoubleyou genius bar could.........ask you to buy a new one 😂
they did collab already since if i’m not wrong you can open your BMW using your iPhone / Apple Watch as the key if you add the car to your wallet or something
If they did the car and the key (sold separately) would be extremely overpriced and it would break extremely easily, and it would be hard to fix, and it would stop working every 5 seconds.
That'll be $1900 for the same thing as last year, but with 1 new feature that everybody else is already doing, & 2 small improvements that really don't matter to you. Battery not included.
Howto & Style
if they did then we would have to pay for the key as a separate item
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This comment needs to reach the top
Brilliant 😅
Don't forget the brake pedal and calipers are addition accessories for your vehicle and would come at an additional cost.
"Oh you need air in tires?"
$150
The key is an additional $4500 for the key to function is $985 a month and for the ignition slot it's $355 a month and once it breaks after you use it the first time you gotta pay a $34,000 replacement fee
I will better buy another bmw with simple key then😂😂
They should collab, seeing as they are two of the most overpriced and elitist consumer brands out there.
That being said, amazing work! It looks like an actual producr mock-up.
That’ll be $5,000 because our new key fob is the thinnest and fastest key fob that we’ve ever made.
Great work!
You forgot that Apple has way more advanced tech than BMW can imagine. They wouldn't design such a remote. Still the leather touch is nice piece of work.
If this happens, then when you buy the car, the key is sold separately for another $1500
They are and have been collaborating for some years, the 2020 BMW 5 series was the first car to support Apple Car Key (digital, in the Wallet app). And it’s free.
@Ian Bos thats my point with you, u ain’t have to point out that shit in the first place lol
You mean 1499€
@Sunil Kumar.E.S in the bad old days of automobiles the "coach companies" and "motor companies" were often completely separate. Buy a coach, buy a motor, find a way to get them to work as a single vehicle...
I genuinely feel like apple would find a way to legally sell seat belts separately from the car
If this was real from Apple then the key provided with your car would either do the locking or do the ignition but wouldn't do both. but it would be OK, because they would just tell you to buy the newer model key in a few months and they'll have ironed out that particular issue.
Yeah, besides from the programed obsolesence,
apple would never think of using leather on a product.
Maybe a cheap white plastic carcas with glued wired circuits all over the frame that will break at the slightiest sign of intention to open for battery change will suit it better.
Didn't they already collaborate? A couple years ago, in one of their keynotes, they announced that you could put new bmw keys into the my wallet app and unlock them with your phone.
Who knows, maybe I just have memories of something that never happened.
You would get cars that break down as soon as the new model comes out
You already do.😂
@Leo Specht Samsung also made and maybe still makes apple’s oled screens. I’ve said before Samsung has exceptional hardware and low tier boosted software. It’s like ordering a steak and putting chocolate syrup all over it.
@Romeo Alpha Juliet Golf Also do you know why Apple batteries are even as good as they are now? Amperex Technology Limited supplies Samsung with their batteries. Apple decided to conveniently switch over to the same supplier as well. 🤷🏻♂️ Samsungs had it locked down for the longest.
@Leo Specht well said 😂😂
@Emad Aldeen apple has 1 day battry even after heavy useage
Hi, I’m french 🇫🇷 and I love you work. What is the machine do you use for create the apple logo ?
If they collaborated, then after 3 years, your car would mysteriously slow down to walking pace. Oh, and you would only be allowed to use "superior" Apple gasoline. 😲 (I forgot to add that your computer would start leaking coolant...)
That’ll be great, but one has to be ready to buy batteries, keys, and key holder separately for more than a $150 as of year 2022.
You'd probably have to pay separately for all the parts to the car then when it's time for an oil change they'll tell you "there's nothing we can do you'll just have to buy a new car"
If they collaborate then customers would have to pay subscription fees to keep the keys activated every month.
@Mihnea Lazăr and they still refuse to have Android Auto
They are and have been collaborating for some years, the 2020 BMW 5 series was the first car to support Apple Car Key (digital, in the Wallet app). And it’s free.
They need to buy batteries each month of apple only costs 900 each
@Tim Parks that's insane if true... By any brand! But I hear it's free on all cars in Thailand and Dubai 😜
Is it BMW who's looking to make heated seats a subscription? Might be someone else.
I love both. Especially BMW. My dad once had one. I was in love with that car. Good old days...
Of course, it's German. German cars are great. But why I will never own a BMW is because they are so expensive to maintain. Maintaining a BMW will cost more than the vehicle itself when you first bought it. It's not worth it. VWs are the best.
Might not be a bad idea, if you charge the BMW drivers extra for turn signals maybe they'll use them. 🤔
First of all excellent work that's truly beautiful but second of all I think we all know that entire thing would be fine machine aluminum if it was made by Apple
You'll now need to use specific gas stations made by people and use their specific fuel costing slightly more than the rest
Ah, yes… I do so love the idea of two company’s that thrive on planned obsolescence, combined with exorbitant price gouging, getting together to make a product.
@Chex NFX kinda have to remind you that covid made everything more expensive, used cars included, not to mention that your 2018 must have not driven for so long to depreciate it up to 60%

Have you tried not being poor?
@Jay what a dumb comment, some people are meant to only drive ford, good luck.
@Jay Ford is by far the worst and most unreliable brand in Europe
Awesome press! Would look nicer with just the stamp, like the iPhone cases
I'm sure leather on a key fob is the very first thing they would plan to accomplish
The fact that the only thing making it "apple" is the logo really says something about the brand
It's terrifying. A new BMW every year that does the same thing just for a higher cost.
*Excellent craftsmanship btw
I like how the first thing that came to our mind when we saw the title was "yep, might as well sold the keys separately. Its apple ffs."
If Apple and BMW collaborated I would say you would end up with an overpriced pos made with a bunch of proprietary parts that needed to be serviced monthly and was designed for obsolescence.
But hey, it would look pretty though
Fail: if the key were made by Apple, the case would be glued shut so that customers could not replace the battery.
I think if apple collabed with BMW, everything else apart from the leather part would be carbon fibre. Either that or the other way ground. Everything leather with the battery case door being made of titanium.
Damn the keys, engine, tires, brake pads, everything be sold separately if Apple did a collab
"we don't know what conditions you plan to drive in or whether you plan to drive on road, or track. Wheels and tires to suit your preferences are available for purchase or feel free to use the ones you have lying around."
Speakers are an option since you might prefer to use your Bluetooth (sold separately)
If Apple partnered with BMW you’d have to buy a new key every 2 years
Well, for what we can tell, if apple and bmw collaborated, Everytime you turn on your car you would probably have to pay $30 worth in apple currency each time you start up your car
Finally, a BMW with some quality leather.
Sounds about right, someone creates all the awesomeness and apple just prints out their logo 😂😂
You forgot to glue the back of the key back on so you will have to take it in to a tech every 3 months to swap out the battery.
Nah there simply won't be a replaceable battery.
I came in here to say the same thing, but instead of them replacing the battery you would have to buy a new one.
Or you end up gluing the whole fucking thing to your thumb!!! Hahahaha!!!!!
Dealership: "And that would be $40k"
Costumer: "Wow, just $40k for the new BMW?"
Dealership: "No, that's just the key... see? There's an Apple logo on it!"
Costumer: "Here! Take my money."
🤣🤣. Perfectly explains the stanz.
They already have sort of a key kooperation.
I think the shiny silver on the back was one step to much. Now there are two kinds of silver on one key.
I think the fob looked good if he would’ve just added the leather wrapping to the back panel but the Apple logo ruined it for me- not an Apple hater, just didn’t need to be on the fob
What does Apple have to do with BMW? What does leather have to do with apple’s glass and metal tech aesthetic? It just doesn’t add up, does it?
I’d buy one haha but in all seriousness that was so satisfying to watch!
Standing ovation!
The price for "this" should be set by the example of BMW and Apple ...
At least 10'000% of the cost price.
Ahh yes, distressed leather. Exactly what I see walking into every apple store.
You’ll still be able to drive it in 5 years, but it won’t break 55 on roads that were built after the car was made.
If they collaborated it’s for people who desperately need some form of a status to feel a positive self worth!
All jokes aside, that's pretty cool how it came out, that's a good mash-up.
It’s upside down lol
I love this.
I need more of these shorts over here please!
Thank you. I'll try!
They would also triple the price of the car with it having the same features as the non apple bmw.
If Apple collaborated with BMW the wheels and the stereo would come separately
If they did then you'd get the chassis and running gear but the rest you'll have to buy separately
This has no business being so satisfying to watch…
Minus the Apple logo, I am ALL for that 👀
Try the bmw logo?
If apple and BMW did a colab you gonna have to buy each part of the car separately😅
So it's just the logo? Bmw would be much more likely to use leather on something without apple. They use leather pretty frequently. Cool looking key modification.
If BMW collaborated with apple then to drive the car home, we would need to buy the key fob separately. Not to mention excruciatingly slow power socket for the car or some kind of fuel that only apple sells at a premium cost.
Would I need a dongle to use the key in my car? Delightful video though!
Leather isn't exactly apples aesthetic but it looks good
@Killian Iphone case
The real comment I was waiting for
My thoughts too, cant remember many leather apple products. Mostly just glass, metal, and plastic. Like those clear blue mac desktops from back in the day haha
BMW+Apple+Hermés perhaps
Hey, what is that called, when you press the logo into leather like that? And what material is that foil? I want to be able to do that at home!
To be honest I was expecting more, but good job mate!
Now I wanna see a full leather key
I thought he was goin a build an airpod, apple tag or something into the fob housing lol, I was genuinely praying he wouldn’t just add an embossing or something but nooooooo a scratched alloy is way more collaborative
If that happened, we would have to go to bmv to get the battery changed, costing us the price of the key, which is sold separately. Not to mention, the app used to remote start and unlock/lock the car is only available on ios.
If BMW kept selling the same old car the way apple sells iPhones, they wouldn’t be ruining the new ones. And of course a tiny logo milled from a solid block of aLUminium 😂
If they collaborated then you wouldn’t have taken the cover off so easily
The kinda funny thing is that BMW and Apple did collaborate on a car keys solution lol
You'd get a vehichle that is not only expensive but gets completely totaled after driving on slightly uneven roads and hits a bump
Whenever I feel I'm not worthy or wasting time I see this video 😂😂😂
If apple and bmw collaborates, your car controller would require a proprietary battery and wouldn't be openable by the consumer/car owner.
By god….. it’s worth $3,000 !!!!! Such ingenuity!!!!!!
Just like the apple stand XD
If apple and BMW collaberated, you'd have to buy a new engine every year.
@Joons and you'll need a subscription for that dongle
You would need a dongle to fill in the fuel
@Prince Plotena 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Simply Wonderful kind of true too with the "limp home mode"
The engine would be supported but it'll slow down a little bit every month
Imagine if it was an electric car, the battery would be dead at 60% in winter 😢
They wouldn’t worry about the fancy leather, they’d just stick a cheap apple stamp on the back of the key fob, and call it a day…………
Moral of the Story: If BMW collab with Apple the only merit is the logo
Key would be sold separately and also glued - no battery replacement.
"Yeah you're unable to repair the car yourself. Yeah you even used official parts but now your car radio is disabled, you can only go forwards, and your windscreen has delay. Take it to an official repair place and pay $6,000 to reenable the features."
Don't forget the deductible
“What if Apple collaborated with BMW?”
You’d be able to use your iPhone as a key… which you are. Apple Carkeys via wallet was released on the 2020 (maybe 2021) BMW 5 Series.
So much work to end up with a key that looks worse than it did before 😂
Wow, what a collab, Apple added the logo.
Thought he was going to glue the battery and the battery cover so you have to buy a new fob when battery dies...
BMW and Apple did kinda partner up. Apple added access to your BMW via the wallet app. So if you have a newer BMW with that capability, you can add your key to your phone like a Tesla.
Yea my bmw and my iPhone do be good
They did this with multiple brands...
Key fob sold separately. Starting at $899
They'd also may the battery impossible to change and Eventually the back would be all glass instead of leather.
That's so Apple of you sir for trying to lure me in but I thought you gonna glue the key from the inside so no one could open it, even for a battery swap. Only call Appledoubleyou genius bar could.........ask you to buy a new one 😂
If they collaborate, car owners wouldn't have access to the gas tank and you'd have to get a genius tech to refuel the car.
Signal lights would be removed to make more space for other things
they did collab already since if i’m not wrong you can open your BMW using your iPhone / Apple Watch as the key if you add the car to your wallet or something
They would also glue it shut so you can't replace the battery for less than 85% of the cost of a new car.
The key would stop working with the car after a few months and you will have to pay some insane price for a new one.
Keys and tires not included
3rd and 4th gear included in pro version
So unnecessary! Loved it 😂😂😂
The key would now cost more than the original bmw
No if Apple made a fob, it would have a metal band and glass front and back 🤷🏻
This man is up to something!!! I like it
If they did the car and the key (sold separately) would be extremely overpriced and it would break extremely easily, and it would be hard to fix, and it would stop working every 5 seconds.
This is no apple, this is -50 years of automotive history.
You'd have to buy the car parts separately
That'll be $1900 for the same thing as last year, but with 1 new feature that everybody else is already doing, & 2 small improvements that really don't matter to you. Battery not included.
If they both Collaborated I should sell both my kidneys😂
With Apples consent to use the logo I’m sure…
What mill are you using to make stamps?
You would have to buy the car alone and tires, seats, steering wheels, etc separately.
Time for new toys? Wow i can expect some cool engravings on the leather....
Very exciting!
