Where to hide a spare key on an E30?

[95BMWIC]

May have been covered before - but search didnt turn up anything of value..

Just bought a magnetic (key) case for my son's IX - Where is a good place to stash a spare key on the E30 body?

Up under the valence? If it has diving boards, inside the bumper? Idk. I always kept mine in the door pocket because I was young and dumb.

maybe in the engine area near the fuse box .... but then you would need access to a big screwdriver to pop the hood if you ever wanted to get to the hidden key

if it's got diving boards you could secure it to the inside of the back somehow, is this a flat key with no plastic? maybe put it inside bumper trim so you have to take that off to get to it? behind a foglight? taped to the inside of plastic wheel well guard/trim? there arent really any good places to hide one without at least a screwdriver on hand. tightly tie it with wire or ziptie to the oil filter? you'd need a jack to get to it. maybe somehow secure it to the o2 sensor, sandwitched in between the heat shield? Secure it to a bumper shock? wrap it in rubber and put it nice and tight behind a license plate? inside a wheel center cap? I'm just thinking.

I say label that magnetic box 'CB1340 antenna', slap it on the roof and call it a day

Behind the metalwork of the rear bumper. Center or above the pipes.

@ true value hardware - or a good locksmith there is a key BMW-2 (sm & flat) - put it in ur wallet !
dive boards are alum- no stick w/ magnet. find a GOOD plastic key case drill hole & bolt on inside of D boards.

They have hide a keys that are sticky on the backside. No magnets or drilling needed.

I actually ended up putting the key in a magnetic box above the muffler exit in the rear lower metal valance.. if anyone else was interested... been there 2 years.
