NOS Folding Key Blanks - Huf


bluebmw

Recommended Posts

Price: $100
Location: USA


Description:

SOLD! I have a couple NOS folding key blanks, the real deal. Great condition and ready to be cut to match your 02's key.

 

However, there is a "catch" - they're technically early 1600 blanks (1966-67). What's that mean? Well, the plastic bit is identical, but the metal portion is a few mm shorter than a 68-76 blank. Fortunately, there's a simple solution! I will also send you a 68-76 metal key blank that you (or a local locksmith) can trim to fit in the folding, plastic housing. I trimmed my 02's original key using a dremel and it works like a charm!

 

Price is $100 shipped for a NOS folding blank AND a regular blank to trim to fit.

Left is a 68-76 blank, right is a 66-67 blank. Note the slight difference in length.

I’ve also heard that the early cars, 1966-67 1600-2’s, may have used these shorter keys as well. I cannot recall if my ‘67 1600-2 had a shorter key, so don’t rely on my word here, without further collaboration!

 

Regards,

Ahh yes. Good thinking, Steve! That could very well be it. Too bad my 67 1600-2 has been hidden away at a body shop for the past two years, otherwise I would've checked by now.

 

@02Anders @dasfrogger @Lucian @mccusername Anyone with an early 1600 care to measure their key for us?

How do you get the plastic piece off to remove and replace the metal key piece? Does it simply split or is it flexible enough to pop the metal piece out? PM sent.

 

Great question, just snapped some pics for you. It's super easy - simply pop out the plastic cover/insert and the metal part slides out.

Since you sold all the keys, I am going to hijack your thread for a bit Riley...

 

I found a few of these Kolb keys, but don’t know the background on them. The folding key length looks to be the longer key for later 02’s but all I found about Kolb was that they made keys for bmw in early 60’s on up. Any info would be appreciated, thanks! John

Funky! Never seen (or heard of) Kolb. Besides the logo, the plastic handle looks identical to the Huf folding keys I had, texture and all.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
